Check out Adam's book "Finding Your Comic Genius: An in-depth guide to the art of stand-up comedy" here: https://amzn.eu/d/1hTq8FN

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

Real news, improvised comedy.

Improvisers and comedians Alec Shea (‪ @AlecSheaImprov ) and Ryan Charnoky (‪ @ryan_stands_up ) read and discuss interesting, weird, and completely true news stories from around the world, then improvise comedic scenes inspired by the story, the people involved and the discussion that follows. They also discuss improv techniques and comedy styles. Weekly episodes with Ryan and Alec, and perhaps sometimes... special guests!

(Disclaimer: We cannot guarantee the news stories will be accurately depicted during the improv. In fact... they may be depicted somewhat inaccurately... Hmm... Actually its probably best to assume the improv doesn't represent these real world news stories at all...)
