Bob Odenkirk’s career is inexplicable. And yet he will try like hell to explicate it for you. Charting a “Homeric” decades-long “odyssey” from his origins in the seedy comedy clubs of Chicago to a dramatic career full of award nominations - with a side trip into the action-man world that is baffling to all who know him - it’s almost like there are many Bob Odenkirks! But there is just one and one is plenty. Featuring humorous tangents, wild characters, and Bob’s trademark unflinching drive, Comedy Comedy Comedy Drama is a classic tale told by a determined idiot.

Comedy is king. From multimillion-dollar TV specials to sold-out stand-up shows and TikTok stardom, comedy has never been more popular, democratized, or influential. Comedians have become organizing forces across culture—as trusted as politicians and as fawned-over as celebrities—yet comedy as an art form has gone under-considered throughout its history, even as it has ascended as a cultural force.

Resumen del Editor
The Upright Citizens Brigade Comedy Improvisation Manual is a comprehensive guide to the UCB style of long form comedy improvisation. Written by UCB founding members Matt Besser, Ian Roberts, and Matt Walsh, the manual covers everything from the basics of two person scene work (with a heavy emphasis on finding "the game" of the scene), to the complexities of working within an ensemble to perform long form structures, such as "The Harold" and "The Movie".
A practical "how to" book, the guide provides exercises throughout to help the listener master each new concept and technique introduced. While the manual is written to be understood by beginners with no previous exposure to improvisational comedy, experienced improvisors will find it to be an excellent resource for honing their skills, clarifying concepts, and generally taking their work to a higher level.

A bad best man’s speech can ruin a wedding. Why do we plan every detail of a perfect day and then give the groom’s idiot best friend five minutes of total power? Enter Nate (Glen Powell), a speechwriter-for-hire who helps people write incredible best man speeches. To keep the best man from embarrassing himself (and the newlyweds), Nate uses his list of don’ts: Don’t mention the exes, don’t be rated R, and don’t bum everyone out. Nate’s system never fails. That is, until he meets Dan (Nicholas Braun).

Alice's journey begins as all good journeys do: hitting on the sales guy at REI. After a tumultuous breakup, a quick career transition, family upheaval, and a sobriety journey that didn't fix her life quite as much as she expected it to, Alice decides that the only way to solve all her problems is to hike the Pacific Crest Trail. But as she begins preparing for the months-long quest, she realizes the answers she's seeking might not be on top of a snow-covered mountain. Especially since she just learned there was snow in California.

Historia
At the height of the McCarthy era, an experimental theater troupe set up shop in a bar near the University of Chicago. Via word-of-mouth, astonished crowds packed the ad-hoc venue to see its unscripted, interactive, consciousness-raising style. From this unlikely seed grew the Second City, the massively influential comedy theater troupe, and its offshoots - the Groundlings, Upright Citizens Brigade, SNL, and a slew of others. Sam Wasson charts the meteoric rise of improv in this richly reported, scene-driven narrative.

Awesome review
This book is an awesome review of all the fundamentals of improv. Great read as a refresher. If you haven’t done improv before, I’d suggest getting into a class or two before starting this book. Because it’s so dense it could easily become over whelming if you’re to new to improv. Highly recommended.

The Gold Standard
I have the print version as well and questioned what I could learn from listening to it. A lot, apparently. This book is the gold standard for anyone embarking on an adventure in long form improv. While there are a lot of Improv books on my bookshelf, this does the best job at laying out the fundamentals of long form.

Best Course on Comedy
Just about everyone knows of the, "yes and," technique in improv, but I didn't realize that it is only the start until you find the first unusual thing, and then you play, "if then," which says, "if x is true, then what else will be true in this fantasy world we've cooked up?"
This book is free when you have audible plus, but I'm putting it on my wishlist and will probably pick it up with a credit the next time I have one because this course is meaty, and worth having even in the months where I'm not doing audible plus.

Helped me understand principles of improv
I read this then went to see professional improv. Made a HUGE difference in my understanding and appreciation of the art of improv. I am starting improv lessons next week. Reason I didn’t give 5 stars is some of the example were really annoying to me and I didn’t like the acting of all of the comics. But stick with it! A must if you want to try improv yourself!
