Do you think you’re funny? Do you want to turn your sense of humor into a career? If the answer is yes, then Judy Carter’s The Comedy Bible is for you. The guru to aspiring stand-up comics provides the complete scoop on being—and writing—funny for money. If you’ve got a sense of humor, you can learn to make a career out of comedy, says Judy Carter. Whether it’s creating a killer stand-up act, writing a spec sitcom, or providing jokes for radio or one-liners for greeting cards, Carter provides step-by-step instructions in The Comedy Bible. She helps readers first determine which genre of comedy writing or performing suits them best and then directs them in developing, refining, and selling their work. Using the hands-on workbook format that was so effective in her bestselling first book, Stand-Up Comedy: The Book, Carter offers a series of day-by-day exercises that draw on her many years as a successful stand-up comic and the head of a nationally known comedy school. Also included are practical tips and advice from today’s top comedy professionals—from Bernie Brillstein to Christopher Titus to Richard Lewis. She presents the pros and cons of the various comedy fields—stand-up, script, speech and joke writing, one-person shows, humor essays—and shows how to tailor your material for each. She teaches how to find your “authentic” voice—the true source of comedy. And, perhaps most important, Carter explains how to take a finished product to the next level—making money—by pitching it to a buyer and negotiating a contract. Written in Carter’s unique, take-no-prisoners voice, The Comedy Bible is practical, inspirational, and funny.

Although it was copyrighted in 2001, the content is just as relative today as when it was first published. The Comedy Bible will teach you how to construct a joke, how to get laughs, how to trim excess verbiage, and string jokes together into a set. She will steer you away from hack premises and in the direction of "runners" and "act outs". The section on developing a one-person show is humbling because it exposes the amount of effort and skill required to create such a production. Did I mention it will teach you how to construct a joke and get laughs? Many comedy guides available are more akin to memoirs of comedy experiences, which are useful in their own right. However, Judy Carter's The Comedy Bible will help you generate and perform material. ## Frequently Bought Together - The Comedy Bible: From Stand-up to Sitcom--The Comedy Writer's Ultimate "How To" Guide - The NEW Comedy Bible: The Ultimate Guide to Writing and Performing Stand-Up Comedy - The Serious Guide to Joke Writing: How To Say Something Funny About Anything --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.pe/products/1357252-the-comedy-bible-from-stand-up-to-sitcom-the-comedy](https://www.desertcart.pe/products/1357252-the-comedy-bible-from-stand-up-to-sitcom-the-comedy) --- *Product available on Desertcart Peru* *Store origin: PE* *Last updated: 2026-06-24*
