There are many great books that tell you how to write and perform stand up comedy but Lee Kyle’s ‘How To Make A Stand Up Show’ is the only book that talks existing comedians through the creation of a festival show or stand up special.
If you want:
A stronger show
More confidence in it
A strong festival run
A cogent and hilarious special
A structured show
And a short cut through trial and error and bad previews,
This book can help.
Drawing on over a decade and a half as a working comedian and show director, Lee Kyle shares the methods, mistakes, and adaptations that have shaped his own career and the solo shows of many others.
Rather than offering generic motivation or rigid “rules”, the book focuses on how comedians can work with their own brains, instincts, and limitations instead of against them. It challenges commonly accepted wisdom around writing and structuring comedy shows, examining where rules are useful, where they fail, and how they can be bent or discarded altogether.
Available as a paperback (Postage to UK), Audiobook, pdf and kindle edition.
