“The Learn Stand-up Comedy Series provides aspiring comedians with the tools and knowledge they need to do the job.

“The first book in the series, How to Be a Comedian and Smash Your First Gig is a step-by-step guide to help aspiring comedians reach their first gig.

“It received rave reviews. This is the second book in the series.”

“I’ve always loved writing since I was a child. I studied journalism though didn’t have success in getting into the industry.

“Maybe a lack of qualifications at the time...

“It was very hard to get my foot in the door.

“But as a comedian I have been writing comedy for 20 years.

“And as a businessperson I have been writing website, blogs and business comms for the last ten years.”
