About this listen
Once upon a time there was a novel that opened at a normal house in a typical street in England. Arthur Dent awoke to discover it was about to be demolished to make way for a new village by-pass. The Hitch Hiker’s Guide to the Galaxy began.
Once upon a time another novel opened at another normal house in a typical street in England. 4, Privet Drive, home of Mr and Mrs Dursley. The infant Harry Potter was about to be deposited on their doorstep.
In most ways, these books couldn’t be more different.
Funny novels can take many differing shapes and forms. They can make you laugh out loud. Or the humour (whichever way you spell it) can add light and shade to your favourite genre – sci-fi, fantasy, romance, crime.
In The Complete Comedy Writer, BAFTA-winning BBC writer, comedy teacher and acclaimed novelist DAVE COHEN wrote the definitive guide to making your TV sitcom, stand-up and screenplays 62% funnier.
In this excellent and original primer, Dave shares all the information you need and more to bring humor and fun to your fiction.

“There are few more experienced comedy writers than Dave. Take heed of his wise words.” - Jim Howick (Ghosts, Horrible Histories)
“Dave knows his onions. He can probably write jokes about onions that’ll have you crying with laughter. (Don’t worry he didn’t write that one)” - Lee Mack
