Poking a Dead Frog
Poking a Dead Frog: Conversations with Today's Top Comedy Writers | Mike Sacks
A NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER NAMED A BEST BOOK OF THE YEAR BY NPR Amy Poehler, Mel Brooks, Adam McKay, George Saunders, Bill Hader, Patton Oswalt, and many more take us deep inside the mysterious world of comedy in this fascinating, laugh-out-loud-funny book. Packed with behind-the-scenes stories—from a day in the writers’ room at The Onion to why a sketch does or doesn’t make it onto Saturday Night Live to how the BBC nearly erased the entire first season of Monty Python’s Flying Circus—Poking a Dead Frog is a must-read for comedy buffs, writers and pop culture junkies alike. From the Trade Paperback edition.

Today's small #bookhaul. Found A Journey into Dorothy Parker's New York on the bargain table at @bookculture on Columbus; Poking a Dead Frog was recommended by my teacher at UCB, where I had my first Sketch 101 class yesterday (so exciting!!!).

manifestsanity Best of luck! I studied improv at UCB years ago. Keep us posted. 8y
katedensen @manifestsanity Thank you, and I will! I'm thinking of doing improv too, but don't want to get ahead of myself. 8y
