Laughing Out Loud by Andrew Horton
A guide to writing comedy that goes far beyond stereotypic jokes and characters. It describes comedy as a perspective rather than merely as a genre and then goes on to identify the essential elements of comedy. It offers tips on networking, marketing, and even producing comedies, and includes a list of recommended comedies and a bibliography.
Andrew Horton, the Jeanne H. Smith Professor of Film and Video Studies at the University of Oklahoma, is author of the popular Writing the Character-Centered Screenplay (California, 1994) and other books. Most recently he coedited Play It Again Sam: Retakes on Remakes (with Stuart McDougal, California, 1998) and wrote the introduction to Three More Screenplays by Preston Sturges (California, 1998).
