## Description

This has proven to be the most significant book ever written on stand-up comedy. It explains groundbreaking methods and theories that give you the tools to fast-track your stand-up to the next level and will permanently change the way you look at writing and performing comedy. Although ‘Finding Your Comic Genius’ is an advanced book that was aimed at people who already do stand-up, thousands of new comedians all over the world have used the seventeen chapters on writing material to prepare for their first time onstage. "Bloom not only has meticulous, brilliant lines, but also an intense and fragile honesty" Ricky Gervais "This is the only book you will ever need on stand-up comedy” Jim Jefferies “This is an extremely rare thing, a book on stand-up comedy that every comedian will learn from” Russell Peters

Review: Extremely helpful for a new Comedian like me - I came here to talk about the wonders this book has done for me as a new comedian. Then I spotted the only ‘2 star’ review (certainly at the time I wrote this) and I felt the need to point out two things. Firstly, Adam Bloom makes it very clear in the bio and on the back cover that it’s an advanced book and also mentions that the 17 chapters on writing will be beneficial to newbies. This made it pretty clear to me that he won’t be teaching the basics about persona. Secondly, despite him saying all that, I found the entire book extremely helpful. So, everything I gained from the other chapters - including the one on persona - was a huge bonus. The exceptional thing about ‘Finding Your Comic Genius’ is that it’s advanced and yet digestible for comedians at all levels. As for the review I set out to write, I’ll just say ‘See above’. NOTE: I’ve just seen that they’ve deleted it. They must’ve read my review
Review: Every comedian should read this - The best book on stand-up comedy I've ever read. I am a comedian who has been going for about five years and after reading the book I'm feeling more creatively inspired and driven now than any other time since I started. It's not only motivational, but the book crystalises concepts, ideas and processes I was dimly conscious of yet never had the vocabulary for until now - in such a wonderful way. It's so helpful to finally be able to label and define these lesser talked about techniques. I look forward to 'virtual comedy' and 'bridging' becoming as part of a stand-up's everyday parlance as 'tag' and 'topper' and I've already found myself thinking in cubes, boom mics, seesaws and balloons! At my gig yesterday, I implemented as many of the theories and ideas as possible and already felt myself having gone up several levels but failed to do a few others and I walked away thinking 'that could have gone better and I know why'. That's thanks to this book. What an incredibly valuable thing. After briefly wondering whether I should keep it a secret, I have been recommending it to anyone who will listen, including a comic last night who had been having a bad run of gigs and couldn't work out why. After regurgitating lots of the advice - I ended up telling him it would be easier for him to just buy a copy. I'm sure I'm going to be having plenty of similar conversations for the rest of my career.
