Disclaimer: I’m not talking about the comedy special also named after the audiobook. I’m going to be reviewing the audiobook and structure of it as a audiobook instruction on comedy creation.
The audiobook quality is more in keeping with a podcast with a okay sounding microphone and pretty straight forward book about Benjamin’s thoughts on the structure and the engineering of comedy. Benjamin expresses his first experiences in the art in his early twenties to his thoughts on how the process of comedy and the formation of joke work. He began to start having to start figuring out the structure of comedy and how it worked. He gives examples of types of comedy he uses and examples of effect comedy from his own past comedy specials. In general all the information in the package of the audiobook can be found in his old podcast videos you can find online on Bitchute.com or other Video sharing sites or on his website called Unauthorized.tv
The book was a little disappointing as a writer in the structure of a book. It’s little more then a podcast masking itself as a audiobook. It’s a pet peeve and a minor one but it doesn’t sound like a audiobook or is structured as such. It doesn’t take away from the entertainment and information mixed into the product.
I’m writing this review simple because I couldn’t find a fucking review on it and that fucked with me for reasons I have no idea about. So fuck it.
I also had other reasons. I’m a bard of dark comedy and I’m always willing to learn from people who have mastered the art and performance. I got the audiobook to learn about his thought process and maybe glen from in depth meaning on comedy from a veteran in the art and science of comedy. Also to do a review on the book in case anyone was interested in how jokes are designed and what makes something funny both from a laughter sense and from a structurally sound sense.
Owen Benjamin is a legit funny comedian and a master in the art of observational comedy. I even laughed at some of the bits I heard in the audiobook though I have heard a lot of his comedy bits before.
I give the content of the audiobook a S class rank for Super top comedy.
I give the structure of the audiobook a M for The structure of the audiobook is a fucking podcast masked as a audiobook.
I recommend you sub to Unauthorized.tv for his podcasts or where ever you can find his content.
Warm Regards
