<p>Ever wonder why funny people win? It’s because we reward personalities who make us feel good. The guy gets the girl. The worker gets the promotion. The politician wins the race. Some say a sense of humor is a gift, but is it? There are many people who are born funny. Whatever they say always seems to get a laugh, but that doesn’t mean they know how to hone this ability.

I’ve been a professional comedian in a career that spans four decades.

How To Be Funny: The Essential Comedy Handbook

On This Day in Comedy is not just an encyclopedia, but a celebration of comedy. In humorous prose the book takes readers through the often-neglected subcultures of comedy in America, acknowledging the inclusiveness of the performers as well as shows and films that made this art form so vital to comics of all backgrounds. It’s artistically criminal that a search for Native American or Asian comedy information yields a virtually blank slate. Look for Middle Eastern comics and you’ll be provided information on the region's comic book revolution, and search results for Latin comedy are confined to a series of outdated articles. This encyclopedia will offer rare and in some cases never-before-seen photos and obscure facts, making it an indispensable comedy essential.
