Despite being roundly cited as much harder to perform than its dramatic counterpart, comic acting is traditionally seen as a performance genre that can’t be taught. At best it is often described as a skill that can only be learned "on the job" through years of practice, or given to a performer through natural talent. Acting Comedy is an effort to examine this idea more rigorously by looking at different aspects of the comic actor’s craft. Each chapter is written by an expert in a particular form—from actors and directors to teachers and standup comedians. Topics covered include: how performers work with audiences how comic texts can be enhanced through word and musical rhythm analysis how physical movements can generate comic moments and build character. This book is an invaluable resource for any performer focusing on the minute details of comic acting, even down to exactly how one delivers a joke on stage. Christopher Olsen’s unique collection of comic voices will prove essential reading for students and professionals alike.

Analysing why we laugh and what we laugh at, and describing how performers can elicit this response from their audience, this book enables actors to create memorable – and hilarious – performances. Rooted in performance and performance criticism, Sidney Homan and Brian Rhinehart provide a detailed explanation of how comedy works, along with advice on how to communicate comedy from the point of view of both the performer and the audience.

Acting in Shakespeare's comedies is also covered in depth.

How would you like the ability to literally be any person you want to be?Any character at all! How about the ability to elicit laughter and good feelings at will from any target? Just look at Conan O'Brein and other professional comedians, and compare their ability to generate high levels of buying temperature as opposed to the best PUAs- including Mystery! Videos of this exists in Youtube, and their just not in the same league! How about PUAs acting like the prize, their Pimp, Alpha whatever as opposed to real-life dweebs who play these convincing characters on the big screen? Again the comparison is unfair, and these professionally trained Actors and Comedians are just light years beyond any PUA! The purpose of this book then is to introduce to you what should be standard training in the pickup arts that sadly only a very tiny percentage of the community are trained in and see the game this way! One way to professionalize and improve your game and performance is to actually embrace and treat the pickup arts as partly a performance art medium.

Ian Wilkie contends that comic acting is a distinct art form, and as such demands a unique skillset. By exploring the ways in which performance choices and improvised moments can work in conjunction with texts themselves, Performing in Comedy offers an indispensable practical tool for enhancing comic performance. This volume is a must-read for any actors, directors or students who work with comic texts. Wilkie synthesises theories and principles of comedy with practical tips, and re-evaluates the ways in which these ideas can be used by the performer. Most importantly, these skills – timing, focus, awareness – are teachable rather than being innate talents. Exercises, interviews and guides to further resources enhance this comprehensive exploration of comic acting.

"In 1939, a young, inexperienced actor wrote a famous actress of his acquaintance, asking for advice on playing comedy. She responded enthusiastically, and they corresponded variously over the next year. The Craft of Comedy, a record of these exchanges, soon emerged as one of the few classic texts in the field of comedy acting."--Publisher's description.
