   Should you read a comic book about stand-up comedy?

   • Stand-ups shouldn't just read about stand-up comedy. Comic novels can help you learn tons about joke writing, character, comedic situations, and pacing. One of the best writers to learn from is P.G. Wodehouse, who wrote the timeless series about Wooster and his very patient valet Jeeves.

   Is Impro a good book for Stand-Ups?

   • Impro is the other book about improvisation that I think is also extremely useful for stand-ups. Again, there are large parts of the book that speak directly to theater work, like the section on masks, but those are easily skipped so that you can focus on the super-important information it has about status and spontaneity.
