In this engaging and disarmingly frank book, comic Jay Sankey spills the beans, explaining not only how to write and perform stand-up comedy, but how to improve and perfect your work. Much more than a how-to manual Zen and the Art of Stand-Up Comedy is the most detailed and comprehensive book on the subject to date.

Zen and the Art of the Monologue

Building on the success of Zen and the Art of Stand-Up Comedy, Jay Sankey brings his approach to the art of the monologue. With a blend of calm, sound advice combined and anarchic humour, Sankey explores the dangers of the monologue for, as he puts it, the vain and the inexperienced, as well the freedom it offers the performer. This should be of interest to those attempting full-length monologues as well as shorter audition pieces or speeches.

Jay Sankey--stand-up comic, magician, and cartoonist--is back with another book for performers. Building on the success of his Zen and the Art of Stand-up Comedy, Jay is moving further into the uncharted wilds of solo performance.
