Standup Comedy Tips from Judy Carter

Welcome to my standup comedy blog. I’ve created this to share insights, exercises, and ideas to assist others in having a successful career in writing comedy and performing comedy. I find that my Ah-Ha’s! have lead to “Ha-Ha’s.” This blog takes off where my book, “The Comedy Bible” ends. I’m hoping that you will find some gems that you can use in your own career, and hopefully others will contribute their ideas and let me know when I’m full of it. Read on.
