Summary of Bob Newhart's I Shouldn't Even Be Doing This!
Please note: This is a companion version & not the original book.
Sample Book Insights:
#1 I loved watching comedians on television, and I would ask myself why certain jokes got a laugh. I learned that the audience would accept the premise if I convinced them to do so, and then everything I said would be logical.
#2 King Kong is a routine that came to me full-born. It happened when I was living in New York doing the television show The Entertainers with Carol Burnett. I was talking about jobs that I had before I became a stand-up, and I made a connection between these two seemingly opposite thoughts.
#3 I have a dark side when it comes to jokes. I love to make people uncomfortable with my macabre sense of humor. I'm constantly thinking of new jokes, and I'll tell them if I think they're funny.
#4 Comedians are often very close to one another, and can only discuss certain things with other comedians because they have never done stand-up. If you have never done stand-up, you don't know what it's like.
