Poking a Dead Frog: Conversations with Today's Top Comedy Writers by Mike Sacks

4.0

Some essays are hilarious and indispensable, others seem like they were included on the grounds of being well-rounded and meeting the appropriate number of pages. The voices present in this collection are distinctly full of laughter as they try to describe the process and products of comedy. It's good insight, only marginally useful for someone thinking about stand-up or screenwriting. Probably not worth the cost of the investment for someone pursuing those particular careers.
