About this listen

In How to Produce Comedy Bronze, legendary TV producer Jon Plowman lifts the hood on the comedy industry so you can peer inside and wonder how any of it ever got made in the first place.

In a career spanning 30 years Jon has learned (almost) everything there is to know about comedy and now wants to share his wealth of knowledge, before he becomes completely demented and forgets how to do it.

Working with Fry and Laurie, travelling with the cast of Absolutely Fabulous, saying yes to The Office - together these stories combine to tell the uncensored story of how TV comedy works, from the first germ of an idea to the after-party at the Emmys - all through a life in comedy. Listen to this audiobook and, if you're not careful, learn how to make the world laugh at your ideas, too!

Actually funny!

Jon Plowman is a genius, and this book just sums up it. Nicely read by Hugh Denis, who always puts great warmth and humour into the words. When’s the sequel…?

A fantastic look at recent British comedy.

Content was thin, narration was dull and humourless, a real disappointment. I stuck it for 3/4 of the book and couldn’t be bothered anymore.

Very thin
