I did stand-up for two years on the London circuit and I stopped performing mainly because I got tired of trawling virtually the same 5-10 minute act around for two years. I lost all my passion for my material, I stopped enjoying writing jokes (oh yes, I was THAT foolish), and something I couldn’t believe…  I actually stopped enjoying the performing. I’d read countless books on comedy writing and I couldn’t make them work.  Friends would say to me: “Hey, I like your stuff, you sound really well-rehearsed and scripted.” No matter what method I used, my comedy material sounded exactly like that… material. I sounded scripted because that’s what I was.  I kept reading that I had to write 50 jokes a day and throw out the rubbish ones and write new ones. After all, all the top gag writers have been doing this for years, right? But in all honesty, I was disgusted with the whole process. I was constantly being told I was much funnier in real life and, without wanting to sound arrogant, I knew that. But with the approach I had been using I couldn’t capture my natural sense of humour. But it was all about to change.  After stumbling across your website I debated over whether to purchase the materials as I already had countless books on writing and performing comedy. Being such “a student of comedy”, I’m a hard audience as I know and have tried the majority of approaches to writing out there. But sometimes you just have to move out your comfort zone and take the plunge. I’m so glad I did. I have learned more about the comedy writing and performing process in the last few weeks than I have ever learnt anywhere else. I have so many great tools in my comedy arsenal at last and not one of them involves me writing gags until my head hurts. For my money the Stand-up Comedy Fast Start Guide and the Comedy Timing Secrets ebook are worth the cost alone. But with the information in the other guides, I now have a more rounded knowledge of stand-up.  I feel like I’m streets ahead.  Thanks once again! Cheers, Jason London, England From the desk of: Steve Roye Author and Professional Comedian Dear Fellow Comedian, I know from my own experience that there is no bigger thrill on the planet than to make an audience laugh -- and laugh hard. It's electrifying!  There are few things that can compare to the acceptance, appreciation and instant gratification that you can experience from being completely responsible for entertaining a group of people by creating huge laughter. But I also know that if you are seriously considering getting involved in stand-up comedy or you've been doing it already... Then the chances are very good that you have important questions that you need answered right now. Important questions like: What do I talk about on stage? How do I get started developing a comedy act? How can I easily remember my comedy material? How can I get rid of nervousness before I get on stage? How can I improve my delivery? If you have already been involved in stand-up comedy for awhile, you may also have important questions like: How can I make my comedy material funnier? How can I add more punchlines to my comedy material? How do I come up with better jokes? How can I improve my timing? How do I handle hecklers? The reason that I am confident that you may have these questions is simple... MOST STAND-UP COMEDY "EXPERTS" DON'T REALLY KNOW HOW TO ANSWER YOUR QUESTIONS EFFECTIVELY Steve, I bought your package, the "Comedy Bible" & Greg Dean's book, and I gotta tell you that your books are by far the most real, and engaging ones yet.  Either I think just like you, or you have it right. Your writing is appealing and not some droll of formula's and what not to do. Excellent. Bill Waitz I know from first hand experience that the chances are very good that you may have already suffered through at least one book on stand-up comedy (probably more) or you have taken a workshop or two to try to get the answers to the questions that you still have. One of the reasons that you may continue to have important, unanswered questions about stand-up comedy is because much of the information that is distributed by the established "experts" is INACCURATE, OUT-DATED or WORTHLESS.
