Book Description
Are you looking for a way to overhaul your communication style? Do you struggle to connect with people outside of church? Do you need more practice delivering hard truths? Or do you need more joy in your life? If you're answered yes to any of these questions, you might be a candidate to join the ranks of the Undercover Prophets. Go on a journey of self-discovery and comedic innovation as you learn to grab ahold of your story and transform it into a tool you can use to connect with people, both onstage and off. This book is one part cultural diagnostic, one part memoir, and one part instructional manual. With accessible, funny prose, Jelani Greenidge does a deep dive into an obvious truth hidden in plain sight--that pastors and other Christian leaders need help in connecting with unchurched audiences, and that stand-up comedy can be a great way to do just that.

Book Description
Karl Chandler is a funny bugger and so are his mates. In fact, our local talent has been killing it in clubs and festivals the world over. Lucky for us, these comics have worked around their hectic schedules – setting their alarm clocks for before midday and logging off Twitter – to cough up some of the most pants-wettingly funny stuff you'll read all year. This is a line-up of the hottest comedians around, giving you a front-row seat to their best material. I stopped writing a diary when I read Anne Frank's effort. That genre has been conquered. HANNAH GADSBY Television is a very powerful tool. But then again, so is Eddie McGuire. GREG FLEET Throw your hands in the air like you just don't care. Unless you're at an auction. DAVE THORNTON The other day I got a big pile of money and burned it. Sorry, I mean I joined a gym. CELIA PACQUOLA I like to go to the library, get all the books on feng shui out, and put them back in the wrong section. KARL CHANDLER

Book Description
Stephen Rosenfield, founder and director of the American Comedy Institute, the premier comedy school in the United States, has taught literally dozens of major standup comics in North America, and has also pioneered comedy as an academic discipline in many universities, a trend that is rapidly spreading. Mastering Stand-Up draws on Rosenfield's own extensive experience (and those of countless stars like Lenny Bruce, Richard Pryor, Chris Rock, Rodney Dangerfield, Louis C.K., Steve Martin, Roseanne, and Johnny Carson) to show the reader—and would-be comic—what works, what doesn't, and why. Forty sharply written chapters cover every conceivable angle of the joke and how to tell it. There are a number of books on comedy and how to do it, but none has the breadth and authority Rosenfield brings to his theme. It's not for nothing that the New York Times has described him as "probably the best-known comedy teacher in the country." Rosenfield's book is sure to become the classic text on its subject. And it should help thousands who long to make others laugh to realize their fondest hopes.
