Listen "Born Standing Up by Steve Martin (Book Review)"
Episode Synopsis
Where do you turn to learn about comedy, writing, and performing? I'm looking to other comics who have blazed a trail already. Especially those who have a story of working hard, starting with no material, just an idea, and a dream to take the stage and make others laugh. Steve Martin's story in his book "Born Standing Up: A Comics Life" is a power-punch of inspiration and instruction on this crazy idea of attempting stand-up comedy. Enjoy this book review where I share five key takeaways and one big ahh-hah from his book.Text COMEDY to 352-747-8422 for event updates by Tim Cambridge.Follow Tim Cambridge on Instagram.Watch "Attempting Stand-up Comedy" on YouTube @TimCambridgeComedySign-up for updates at TimCambridge.comVisit SteveMartin.com for a collection of his lifetime work in the field of comedy and entertainment.Guitar music by: Angelo JanottiWatch Angelo Janotti's TEDx talk: The Art of Shred Guitar#comedy #standupcomedy #entertainment #learning #writing #jokes #timcambridge
