Punching Up Jokes

This 500-word satire imagines a comedy boot camp for flabby one-liners. Jokes are whipped into shape by drill sergeants who shout, �That�s not a setup, that�s a bedtime story!� Includes a fake app called �PunLift� that tracks your punchline reps. A fictional comedy trainer says, �You want laughs, not polite nods�sweat harder!� Also features the �Laugh Lab,� where every weak joke is dissected like a frog in biology class. Ends with: �Don�t fear the rewrite�it�s just your joke putting on muscle.� HOW TO WRITE COMEDY: https://comedywriter.info/punching-up-jokes/ AND http://comedywriter.info/
