Save Yourself
by Cameron Esposito
Five jokes per page probably works great on stage; on the page, it's forced and unfunny. It would probably be educational to compare this to a David Sedaris book.
Curiously, the only chapter that was almost entirely without jokes was the one about the comedy industry, toward the end. I learned a lot about comedy from that one chapter (the history of standup vs improv; some of the weird social dynamics that come from chasing fame aka trying to make a paying career out of comedy), but at the end of the day, I still don't respect standup comedy as an art form.
