Book description
I have yet to read a book on standup that I found comprehensively helpful, but each offers some insights. This is a good book to read if you want to gain a thorough, emotional understanding of standup comedy writing and performance. Sankey, like Judy Carter, believes that connecting with the audience through topics they care about is key. He stresses likability and vulnerability as important attributes of successful comics. Sankey s work on stage etiquette and the stresses placed on comics by various roles (MC, middle, headliner ) is very helpful. He offers a view into the evolution of a comics progress from rookie to feature/middle and beyond. He thoughtfully describes the fragile power dynamic between performer and audience. There are a few things this book didnt do that I thought would have made it stronger. Sankey frequently waffles rather than giving clear advice, often suggesting, on the other hand, too much of this thing I just recommended would be a bad thing. Clearly most life decisions are a matter of judgment along some kind if continuum, but I found this grating. Maybe hes just very Canadian. Secondly, like Carter, Sankeys major emphasis on trying to guess what the audience cares about or will relate to struck me as misguided. I think the comic s main task is to take something we find funny and demonstrating to the audience why thats true for us. They can agree and laugh or disagree and scowl, but were selling our vision of funny. Jerry Seinfeld does a great bit on pharmacies. Although everybody has been to one, I doubt most people care much about drugstores. Its Seinfeld s sociological dissection of the pharmacy experience that makes it funny and I expect he could do that with taxidermy or taxes if he wanted, neither of which is highly relatable. On the continuum between relatability and originality, the relatable end of the topic spectrum is where most hack material lives. If its super relatable, it may also have been done to death. Although an obscure topic may excite no passion in most people, they will find it funny if we show them how.That brings me to what I thought was the biggest shortcoming of this book. I already have my own view of what amuses me. I know that humour derives from surprise, exaggeration, release of tension, incongruity and changes in point of view, to name a few. I would have found it useful for Sankey to have included a few, practical exercises on finding the funny in any topic by processing them through those various source lenses to construct jokes or bits. I have found some of these exercises in other books and I continue to seek them out, but such exercises and any deconstruction of what actually makes things funny were absent here. The book is still useful in other ways, but my quest continues.
