Richard Belzer is a master of his craft. Being a Stand Up Comic. Rarely do you see a talent such as Richard Belzer's so blatantly betrayed

Richard Belzer is a master of his craft. Writing and assembling a book which captures his celebrated, irreverent wit proves daunting. Entirely devoid of substance this 208 page collection of cheap, grainy B&W photos masquerades as a & containing no more than 6 pages of text. Rarely do you see a talent such as Richard Belzer's so blatantly betrayed. I anxiously await the publication of his next work & You Don't Have To Be Crazy To Believe' which will hopefully ameliorate my current feeling of betrayal.

What passes for funny or witty has changed a lot since How to Be a Stand-Up Comic's original first publication. Still it's not a bad guide for beginners who want to get into comedy or acting, but a lot of the material in it is very lame for today. Sep 27, 2010 Chris rated it liked it.

Every stand-up comic should read a good stand-up comedy memoir, and perhaps the best one out there is Born . How To Write Funny' is a slim volume packed with great info.

I bought this book used on Amazon.com and paid [...] for it. I thought; "what a great deal!". It was a total scam. It's NOT informative, helpful or even funny. I found myself wondering; "Was he drunk when he wrote this?". The only good thing about the book is that it can be read in about an hour then used to start a nice cozy fire on a cold winter day when the power is out and there is nothing better to do. Great! I've just wasted another thirty seconds writing a review. I really didn't even want to give it one star, but there is no zero star rating. I feel as though Belzer should issue a public apology to his fans for insulting us.

Belzer, a clear insightful examination into the conspiracies that eliminated our greatest leaders.

Glad I didn't pay full price. I bought it used for $1. I like Belzer's conspiracy writing . But, this is crap.

I'm serious about that. This isn't a stand-up routine. When I was in eighth grade, I did a project on how to be a stand-up comedian, and of all of the books that I used for research, this was the one that I used the most. The others were a bit... well... boring. I thought stand-up comedy was supposed to be entertaining, and the other books weren't. I could have just read straight through this book in one sitting, but I was supposed to look through several books.

The truth is that this book is really a stand-up comedy routine on how to be a stand-up comedian. As another review mentioned, there is very little text in it, and mostly pictures, but the text was very useful for me. Some of the pictures were helpful. There are a lot of jokes in it, but that's a good thing. Another review commented on the profanity, but that's something that sells. A lot of comedians do it. It really is an informative book, and I can't believe that it's not as easy to find.

I might be the only person that was helped by it, but it might help you even more.

First of all, I had a terribly hard time locating this book... For good reason it turns out. Although published in 1988, 'How To Be a Stand Up Comic' appears to be a remainder from an earlier, long forgotten era. Shoddy production value, crappy packaging and all together amateur layouts do little to improve this book's allure - once opened it can be read in a single bowel-movement. Not to say that this book is entirely disappointing, it isn't. Richard Belzer is a master of his craft. Being a Stand Up Comic. Writing and assembling a book which captures his celebrated, irreverent wit proves daunting. Entirely devoid of substance this 208 page collection of cheap, grainy B&W photos masquerades as a `book,' containing no more than 6 pages of text. What fills up the remaining 202 pages are a serious of poor-quality black and white photographs of `The Belz' in a series of `comedic' skits. Whereas these pictures could ideally have served to coincide and reinforce the text, Belzer uses them as a way to replace his written word leaving the `reader' cheated. This is basically a scrappy attempt at a half-hearted and entirely unrealized premise. Rarely do you see a talent such as Richard Belzer's so blatantly betrayed. I anxiously await the publication of his next work `Conspiracies You Don't Have To Be Crazy To Believe' which will hopefully ameliorate my current feeling of betrayal.

While reading this book is mildly amusing, you will not learn how to construct a joke or bring out your funny side by reading it. In short you won't learn much about "how to be a stand up comedian". I was disappointed because I do think Belz is a funny guy. I just didn't think the book was very instructive.

I was disappointed at all the four letter words, vulgarity and the mention of one night stands while he is married. I felt it was also degrading to women. I love Richard Belzer as an actor but as a writer I was disappointed in the book. Does he want his two daughters to read his book?
