By Dave Thurston, author of “The Art of Fast Comedy”

The best feeling in the world is killing with a new bit. The process is addictive, all of it, from beginning to end: coming up with an idea, working it out, taking your idea to the club, anticipating your name being called, walking on stage and absolutely crushing – with a new bit. It is an unrivaled thrill, it's addicting. Like anything, the more you put into the work, the more you’ll get out. In this book you’ll find and outline to do the work. You'll find advice from the best comics working including Bill Burr, Iliza Schlesinger, Doug Stanhope, Greg Fitzsimmons and more. You'll find structure, motivation, encouragement and writing tools. Again, if you put a lot in, you’ll get a lot out. My goal for you as a reader is a year from now you have an hour of material, and you can write an hour of material every year going forward. Let’s do this! Workshops are available by call/text 480-784-7258

This book is cross fit for creative artist.The purpose of this book is to encourage and enable artist of one discipline to do multiple disciplines, to encourage and enable the improviser to do standup, the comic to do improvisation, the writer to perform, the performer to write. Everybody should be writing, essays, short stories and screenplays. Mitch Hedberg was a brilliant comedian, but he never wrote a screenplay. What story would he have told if he had? How many movies would he have written if someone would have enabled him to write screenplays when he was just getting started? We don’t know. If you are passionate about something you’ll get good at it and when success comes someone will ask you do to something, whether it’s a corporate show, writing a book, doing a podcast or in Mitch's case, writing a screenplay – when someone asks you to do something, you want to be able to say, “Yes. I can do that.”
