outstanding

I have been looking for this book for years. I did not know it existed but I knew someone had encapsulated the wisdom that I was searching for. thanks for all the hard work Geoffrey Neill I don't know why you spell your name like an 18th century psychopath but you've been great!

One of the best of the 6 books on stand up

I have recently listened to 6 books on stand up. while this book may not be as detailed as some of the others it gets straight to what matters and doesn't waste your time. All of the books have been good in their own way. This one may be the best to listen to first. If you want to go further then consider some of the other books. non of them are completely redundant.

Don't crap yourself on stage, read on the toilet!

What at a thoufhful, and helpful guide; particularly if you've been afraid to use a public toilet. Get prepared, bring a sanitized wipe or two, invest in wet one's and fabreeze. After you've read this book people will have no idea your poo stinks like the rest of us. Enjoy!

Audio levels

The only problem is technical. The audio level dips and raises. This isn’t to say it ruined the experience, but just so that it’s on the radar for the next book! :-)

Good 2 Kmow

I found this book informative, easy to follow and full of good ideas. I am a story teller who would like to do more stand up and have taken a couple courses and read considerably and although there was not a lot of new secret information his advice was solid and memorable. Thanks.
