How to be a Comedian - Free Online Guide Book
I'm working on a comedy business book tentatively titled, "The Millionaire Comedian: Creating Your Own Success in Show Business." This isn't a book about how to write jokes or be funny. Rather, it is a guide to the different careers paths you can take as a comedian. Specifically, I hope to inspire you to take success into your own hands, and not wait for a big agent or a "break" to launch your career.
