Title: STEVE NORTH is THE GOD of COMEDY
Review: I’ve been doing comedy since 1993, I’ve had lots of success . Headlined thousands of comedy shows , tv appearances etc….. too much to list. However , I have never experienced someone as gifted as Steve North. He’s a comedic genius who can analyze you or your act and quickly define your “comedic character” . I couldn’t do it because I’m too “ in the box” . Steve figured out who i am , which allows me to write lots of material easily because it’s about me. I read this book daily . It’s POWERFUL information worth reading and re- reading. I’m constantly getting texts from comedy club owners and managers telling me how great my shows were. Thanks Coach North

Title: Among the best books on stand up comedy. A must-read.
Review: Provocative new ideas. Steve North explains his unique theory about what the best comedians do. And its quite different from everybody else's theory. For example, the rush for authenticity will probably squash your comedy. The top comedians are artistic liars in their strong personas (a persona is a mask, concealing what is real). So when you work on becoming a comedian (a funny person) rather than a comic (a teller of jokes) and when you write material that follows your persona, audiences start laughing. Instead of spending years in trial and error, find your persona directly in Steve's classes. The middle of this book also contains some of the best instruction in how to write funny material, which is normally quite hard, but if you try Steve's methods, you can write new jokes overnight.

Title: The Difference Between Good and Great
Review: There are key elements in this book in regards to "persona" that REALLY elevated my comedy and helped me take it to the next level (full disclosure -- I don't use any of the joke formulas in the book as writing comedy comes very easy to me, so I can't speak to that aspect of the book). Some things I've noticed since implementing many of Steve's persona techniques found in this book: 1- I'm now getting booked on much better shows alongside well-known professional comedians; 2- I'm getting paid to do stand-up (albeit not much but it's a start!!); 3- The audience often laughs when I'm not even doing a punchline (something Steve mentions will happen) 4- I'm getting laughs at open mics; 5- I'm getting much clearer on my comedic "voice" and understanding how to write for that voice rather than just saying any random funny thing that comes into my head. Thank you, Steve!

Review: As someone who does stand up this is one of tge best books for me. It breaks it all down and will have you writing joke’s straight away. I use this book all the time and it has become an important tool in generating material. It has great excercizes for all the different joke structures which is exactly what you need to start honing one liners. I originally got the book on kindle and loved it so much I had to get a paperback copy as I use it alot.If you are struggling to create material this is tge book for you. Reading it once will accelerate your comedy writing (something which can take comedians years with out proper guidance).I have read alot of books on comedy and this book is the first one I recommend to anyone wanted to learn how to write jokes. It literally does what it says on the tin. Don’t waste time, buy it now and start killing in comedy!
