Reviews
The advice Ritchie gives is clear and simple. There are chapters on comic identity, character comedy, performance technique, material, audi ences, and the business aspects of comedy. Some chapters include exercises and all finish with a recap, making this a very easy book to navigate. -- Oliver Double * New Theatre Quarterly *
