The Art of Writing One-Liners

This 500-word satire dives into the ancient discipline of making a whole room laugh in twelve words or less. It opens with a profile of a fictional guru known only as �Zing Lao,� who teaches one-liner haiku to monks and Vegas comics alike. Writers are warned that every one-liner must survive the trials of the pun, the misdirect, and the uncle who thinks he�s funnier. There�s a parody �Hall of Fame� of lines too short to bomb but too weird to forget. Final insight: �If brevity is the soul of wit, one-liners are its unwashed gym shorts.� HOW TO WRITE COMEDY: https://comedywriter.info/the-art-of-writing-one-liners/ AND http://comedywriter.info/
