Amazing information. Amazing organization. This book is an invaluable resource to any actor or anyone interested in studying sitcoms! I thought I'd read it once and enjoy, but I'm going to need to reread and absorb over and over again until it's part of my being, and even then I'll probably keep it on hand to reference.

I feel like I won the lottery! As an actor this is the best book I've ever read on the subject. Whether you're a seasoned actor or just beginning your acting journey, this book will give you the edge over your competition! It breaks down every facet of acting from script analysis to nailing your audition. This book is the only book you'll ever need to be the best actor you can be!

Highly recommended. In this book, one of Hollywood's top comedy coaches breaks down his techniques. A more comprehensive and informative book on comedy structure and technique doesn’t exist because Gunnar shows you how to approach comedic acting and writing in ways that the others don't. After reading it I felt like I was just let in on a secret... This book is an invaluable tool for both writers and actors so if you're serious about either of those pursuits do yourself a favor and add this book to your library. You'll be so glad you did when you are prepping your next audition or rewriting your script.
