Review: STEVE NORTH is THE GOD of COMEDY - I’ve been doing comedy since 1993, I’ve had lots of success . Headlined thousands of comedy shows , tv appearances etc….. too much to list. However , I have never experienced someone as gifted as Steve North. He’s a comedic genius who can analyze you or your act and quickly define your “comedic character” . I couldn’t do it because I’m too “ in the box” . Steve figured out who i am , which allows me to write lots of material easily because it’s about me. I read this book daily . It’s POWERFUL information worth reading and re- reading. I’m constantly getting texts from comedy club owners and managers telling me how great my shows were. Thanks Coach North
Review: The Difference Between Good and Great - There are key elements in this book in regards to "persona" that REALLY elevated my comedy and helped me take it to the next level (full disclosure -- I don't use any of the joke formulas in the book as writing comedy comes very easy to me, so I can't speak to that aspect of the book). Some things I've noticed since implementing many of Steve's persona techniques found in this book: 1- I'm now getting booked on much better shows alongside well-known professional comedians; 2- I'm getting paid to do stand-up (albeit not much but it's a start!!); 3- The audience often laughs when I'm not even doing a punchline (something Steve mentions will happen) 4- I'm getting laughs at open mics; 5- I'm getting much clearer on my comedic "voice" and understanding how to write for that voice rather than just saying any random funny thing that comes into my head. Thank you, Steve!

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Top 3 Book On Standup Comedy
*by E***A on April 11, 2025*

The information in this book is legit. It will definitely make your act funny if you are just starting out or funnier if you have been doing comedy for awhile and want to make your current act funnier. I'm just starting back up after not doing standup for 16 years. Steve breaks down the four parts of comedic character which really made things clear to me about why things are funny and how to be a comedian and not a comic, there is a difference! The formulas in the book are amazing, I used the formulas in the book to make my act funnier and I have been getting laughs at open mics. I still have a long way to go but the information in this book is setting me in the right direction. Highly recommended! I would rank this book number 1 in the top 3 books on standup comedy with number 2 being Comedy Writing Self Taught by Gene Perret and number 3 being Comedy Writing Secrets by Mel Helitzer.
