Title: Andy Kindler's "The Hack's Handbook"
Post by: Gleepglop on March 05, 2015, 02:59:32 PM

Back in the 90s, Comedy Central used to run these little interstitial segments on how to be a hack comic, and they were beautiful. Aside from just being funny, they actually helped clarify my own perception of Comedy, and taught me the value of avoiding avoid low-hanging fruit whenever I attempted humor.

Anyway, I just learned today (https://twitter.com/LeChased/status/573510256648658944) that it was Andy Kindler who did those things, and it was based on a National Lampoon article he wrote, called The Hack's Handbook (http://www.andykindler.com/none.html).

Great stuff.
