Poking A Dead Frog by Mike Sacks
Conversations with Today's Top Comedy Writers
A lively collection of candid interviews and essays that pulls back the curtain on the craft and business of comedy, featuring conversations with contemporary joke writers, performers, and showrunners who share how they got started, how they generate and shape material, how writers’ rooms and late-night gigs actually work, and how to survive rejection and reinvent a career. Blending practical tips about joke construction, rewriting, and pitching with funny, often vulnerable anecdotes, the book serves as both oral history and how-to manual for anyone curious about the mechanics and messy realities of professional comedy.
