How the Stand Up Comedy Biz Really Works

Dave Schwensen’s Stand-up Comedy FAQs and Answers


When it comes to comedy, Dave Schwensen has the answers. And now he’s put them into a book Comedy FAQ’s And Answers, in which 57 of those questions are answered in this book with help from comedy legends such as George Carlin, Richard Jeni and Bobby Collins. Booking agents, club owners and public relations reps also get a chance to weigh in.

For about the price of a comic’s DVD, you are going to learn more about the business of making people laugh than you ever will from talking with people who say they know something, but want you to pony up some major cash for the privilege.

This book is geared towards the young up and coming talent of the future, but there is something any seasoned veteran can probably learn from the fifty-seven frequently asked questions about stand-up comedy and the easy to understand, relevant, fun to read, and knowledgeable answers found in this book.

Even if you are not an aspiring talent but just a fan of stand-up, this is a highly enjoyable book as it gives you a very interesting and fascinating take on the behind the stage stuff. Schwensen’s previous book, “How To Be A Working Comic,” introduced would-be funny men and women to the trade.

Schwensen, known around the country for his comedy workshops, mines his industry connections – sprinkling advice from top comedians throughout the book – and covers everything from doing your own publicity to getting on television to writing for other comics.

Some of the questions Schwensen answers in this amazing book are related to open-mic night, what to do on stage, what happens off stage and backstage. It is an easy question and answer format based on the writer’s experience in the comedy club business and as a leader of workshops for aspiring comedy professionals.
