## Customer Reviews

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ 4.0 out of 5 stars







  
  
    Good insights from a comic who has been around.
  

*by D***E on Reviewed in the United States on July 12, 2012*

I appreciated the commentary prior to each chapter of the book, based on the author's own experiences. There are consistencies in the advice given as compared to advice other comics have provided as well, but it's encouraging to know that there is a way to make "this" happen, and it doesn't have to look the same for everyone.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 5.0 out of 5 stars







  
  
    interesting insights into a field that many people find mystifying; very encouraging for an aspiring comic
  

*by S***L on Reviewed in the United States on December 22, 2011*

i'd been planning for months to hit up an open-mic night over winter break--had been keeping a .txt of joke ideas and everything--but i have to say this mini-book was the perfect nudge in the right direction last week when I found myself, day before the open-mic, wondering if i should just bail on the gig.  i'd obviously already heard a bunch of successful comedians talk about their stand-up beginnings, but it was an encouraging change of pace to hear the story of a comedian who has found success on what appears to be the 'long tail' of the comedy profession--a long tail i didn't realize existed before.the author who conducted the interviews also had some great summary material--first chapter really shines light on the notion that when a comedian gets up on stage nowadays, he/she is performing as much for the youtube audience down the line as he/she is the people in the comedy club for that particular open mic night.  this was cool for me to think about, because i generally do not like the comedy club crowd; probably a stereotype i should get over, i dunno, but when i think comedy club i just think of a bunch of dudes who look like comedian Gallagher but who get up on stage with even lamer acts, or who get up on stage with an electric keyboard wearing suspenders--stuff like that, moustachey kind of stuff like that.  And i feel like the mediocrity of those sort of staple 1980s comedy club acts has, in the decades since, refracted the comedy club audience into a crappy audience that does not expect, or want to even open their ears to cutting edge content nor novel format/presentation.By the way: Devoll gets the "mind the youtube audience" idea across much less digressively than i just did--and i think the direct writing style is a major credit to the book throughout.i don't usually write customer reviews, but when i do, i write them for dos equis.  this is the first customer review i've written that is not about dos equis.

    Buyer Beware!!

Dan must have paid people to give these good reviews the same way he tried to pay Marc Maron to be on his podcast. (true) Look, for what its worth this book is good for beginners but all the info in this book can be found online.Now as for Dan I don't know him personally but he has an awful reputation as a comedian and a person in the comedy business.  Listen to Marc Maron's podcast with Adam Mackay and listen to Marc read the letter Dan sent him. Also listen to Joe Rogan's podcast with Russell Peters (who doesn't like Dan) as Russell talks about Dan (he doesn't mention Dan's name but it has been confirmed by many comedians that he is speaking of Dan) Now Dan is not a crook or a scammer (that I know of) BUT I've been told that he has been banned from a notable comedy club for his behind the scenes actions. He's even had a comedian threaten him with a restraining order for sending bullying emails. (Which he apparently loves to do.)  So my point is if you're just getting into comedy be wary of who you listen to.  Not every comedian is as cool as they seem.
