This DVD & booklet teaches you 6 specific techniques that will help you take your routine from "chucklesville" to "guffawtown."Let's face it, one of the hardest things about putting together a routine is making it truly funny. You end up settling for "cute" bits to fill out your routine, but don't really get "rolling in the aisles" laughter from your audiences.
In PUNCH!, Tom has concisely explained these 6 techniques, the theory behind why they work and actual examples.
These are the same methods today's top comedy pros use to make their acts funny.
If you want to create original material, or add more zing to your existing material, Tom's new book will enable you to quickly and easily add PUNCH to your comedy.
Very funny book introduction by "Super Dave Osborne."
