This, by Joel Morris is brilliant. Insightful, funny, and valuable to all writers, not just those in comedy. Chapter 56 in particular is one all novelists should read.

Ooh. Nice review from Chortle Comedy.bsky.social for Be Funny Or Die.

Hurrah!

Just finished @Gralefrit 's ' Be Funny or Die', it's like one of those tremendous dvd commentaries* that explains what we are seeing and shows us the toolkit used to create it without taking away any of the magic.

*In book form obviously.

There is an art, a nobility, a grace almost to understanding your audience this well. Tarkovsky could learn something from Bruce. And maybe put back in the futuristic car chases that are in the book of Stalker, and which he left out. Mistake. Drunk people would go apeshit.

My review of BE FUNNY OR DIE, by Joel Morris A new book on comedy with relevance for #xl8 and #1nt #TerpLove mattperret.wordpress.com/2024/04/04/a-r…

YES YES YES YES YES YES YES (etc)

Good god, but this new series of Mandy is making me laugh like a drain. Above all, Diane Morgan’s direction is so bloody *comedy*, so unashamedly about making jokes work. Wish more stuff was this happy about being funny. It’s a gorgeous little beacon. Cracking. Big thumbs up.

If you missed this yesterday, LOOK! Fans of #BBCGhosts might want to grab a ticket for this lovely chat in Walthamstow (near the tube). Splendid Ben Willbond interviews Joel Morris about his brilliant new book #BeFunnyOrDie It will be a smashing night out.

Going to be talking to Nihal on BBC Radio 5Live at around 2pm, about comedy, how it works, and why it’s terribly important.
