Peter Desberg & Jeffrey Davis 
Show Me the Funny! [EPUB ebook] 
At the Writers’ Table with Hollywoods Top Comedy Writers

Enjoy a unique glimpse into the intelligent and quirky inner workings of the comedic mind! This special e-version of
Show Me the Funny! presents 28 top comedy screenwriters–including three bonus interviews not in the original print book–from the revered figures of televisions “Golden Age” to todays favorite movie jokesters. Authors Desberg and Davis put an innovative spin on the traditional interview: each writer was given the same loosely structured comedic premise and asked to develop it in any way he or she wanted-no rules, no boundaries, no limits! The result is a hilarious and illuminating look at the comic process.
