Street jokes are certainly NOT considered original stand-up comedy material. However...

Professional comedians can and do use edited and refined street jokes in their acts.

Properly edited street jokes with added punchlines can make for killer closing bits. Not only that...

A powerful and funny street joke can make for a fantastic opening bit when performing in venues outside comedy clubs!

Actually, there are 5 distinct factors involved in comedy timing that you do have complete control over.

Also, you may not be aware of this, but you already have a natural sense of timing that you use everyday when you communicate verbally.

It's vitally important to use your natural sense of timing when you are on stage for maximum laughter impact.

This brief, yet detailed guide shows you the real deal when it comes to comedy timing and how to:

I can't believe I found this. An ebook rendition of the comic ebook that started the illustrious career of one of the most popular comic book heroes of all time, Superman. Action Comics #1, released in 1938, introduced Superman to the comic ebook industry and the rest is history.

Originally created by a couple of teenagers, Joe Shuster and Jerry Siegel, Superman went on to become a mainstay in every comic book enthusiast's collection. And get this, you won't believe a man can fly. You WILL believe a man can jump great distances. Believe it or not, Superman originally could not fly. As with so many things we are familiar with, the Superman character we know today, evolved over time.

This ebook makes a fantastic complement to my Comic Book Collecting ebook. The original comic is very illusive these days and if you do own a copy, it is worth a bundle. But for those of us that have never seen the origin of Superman, this ebook is a great history lesson and is yours if you act today.
