Dark Matter eLiquid
Enjoy the wonderful flavor of our latest VapeSafe eLiquid - Dark Matter.
Dark Matter tastes like German chocolate cake. For those of you who have not had the fortunate to try a piece German chocolate cake recently, this is a great way to experience the flavor without getting any of the calories. German chocolate cake is a layered cake filled and topped with a coconut-pecan frosting. Traditionally sweet baking chocolate is used for the chocolate flavor in the actual cake. The robust filling and topping is a caramel made with egg yolks and evaporated milk. Once the caramel is cooked, coconut and pecans are stirred into the mixture. Finally, rich chocolate frosting is spread around the sides of the cake to hold in the filling.
Dark Matter eLiquid by VapeSafe captures the essence of German chocolate cake. Dark Matter eLiquid delivers plumes of vapor and rich chocolatey flavor that you'll want to enjoy again and again. Try Dark Matter today!

Description
Do you think you're funny?
Do you want to turn your sense of humor into a career?
If the answer is yes, then Judy Carter's The Comedy Bible is for you. The guru to aspiring stand-up comics provides the complete scoop on being -- and writing -- funny for money.
If you've got a sense of humor, you can learn to make a career out of comedy, says Judy Carter. Whether it's creating a killer stand-up act, writing a spec sitcom, or providing jokes for radio or one-liners for greeting cards, Carter provides step-by-step instructions in The Comedy Bible. She helps readers first determine which genre of comedy writing or performing suits them best and then directs them in developing, refining, and selling their work.
Using the hands-on workbook format that was so effective in her bestselling first book, Stand-Up Comedy: The Book, Carter offers a series of day-by-day exercises that draw on her many years as a successful stand-up comic and the head of a nationally known comedy school. Also included are practical tips and advice from today's top comedy professionals -- from Bernie Brillstein to Christopher Titus to Richard Lewis. She presents the pros and cons of the various comedy fields -- stand-up, script, speech and joke writing, one-person shows, humor essays -- and shows how to tailor your material for each. She teaches how to find your "authentic" voice -- the true source of comedy. And, perhaps most important, Carter explains how to take a finished product to the next level -- making money -- by pitching it to a buyer and negotiating a contract.
Written in Carter's unique, take-no-prisoners voice, The Comedy Bible is practical, inspirational, and funny.

Summary: "Best book on the art of stand-up"
This book has helped me take my performance up at least one notch, maybe two. Of course, I don't really know how many notches there are out there, but I got better after reading and applying the advice in the Comedy Bible.

Summary: "Go from "Hack" to "Hilarious" Quickly and Easily with Judy Carter's Comedy Bible!"
The Comedy Bible is a must-have and a must-follow for all FUNNY PEOPLE. I wrote a funny book about surviving raising five boys and started doing stand-up comedy as a compliment to my book. I bought The Comedy Bible because someone recommended it, and I worked through the exercises with a "comedy buddy." What a difference it makes when you go from "hack" to "hilarious!" I strongly recommend this book!!!

Summary: "Very BAD advice."
I'm really shocked by all the rave reviews on here for this book. If you read the book and don't do anything I guess it can SEEM like a good book. It does give you lots of advice for your comedy career. But the problem is when you actually take the advice and use in on stage IT DOESN'T WORK. And isn't that what matters most? Sure it's a well written self help book. But the advice she offers doesn't work.
I've been doing comedy for 10 years. I read this book because I was looking for something to help my career. I still haven't "made it" and have to work a day job. I was looking for something to take me to the next level. There is a big section in the book on what makes jokes funny, and the 5 specific words you should use. "something is WEIRD, something is SCARY, etc, etc." I thought, maybe she's right, maybe I really don't understand the STRUCTURE of jokes, maybe just telling jokes and stories that I think are funny is not the way to go, maybe I need STRUCTURED setups. So against my better judgment I re-wrote an entire 10 minute act using this advice. I went on to have the WORST show I've ever had! Seriously. Just.... absolute CRICKETS. And I fully believed that what I had done was going to work wonders for my set! I've never bombed so badly. It was a comedy competition where months prior I'd made it though to the 3rd round finals. This time I got bumped out the first round.
The other TERRIBLE advice she gives is she says "tell jokes, don't tell stories." REALLY!? Some of the BEST comedians tell stories! Daniel Tosh, Louis CK, Dennis Leary, Pablo Francisco, they ALL tell stories. Terrible advice.
The most important thing you have to ask yourself is "Who the heck is Judy Carter?!" Why is she qualified to write a book on comedy?? If she was so great at comedy, she'd be DOING it right now. You'd see her on the tonight show, or comedy central, or she's have an HBO special. She doesn't. She's old, washed up, doling out OLD advice. If you have absolutely no clue how to write jokes or be funny, I guess this book is better than nothing. But if you've done ANY stand-up at all, even for just 6 months, do NOT buy this book. It's rubbish. Trust your gut. YOU know WHAT is and is not funny. You don't need the "joke structure" to tell it to you. If you have even just DECENT natural talent, you'll intrinsically figure the structure out without even thinking about it, just by doing shows. Trying to figure out the "structure" will make you LESS FUNNY!
Jerry Seinfeld can write an advice book on comedy, so can Jay Leno, Louis CK, Steve Martin, etc, etc. Because they're GOOD. ....Judy Carter. You gotta' be kidding me. I'm telling you, READING THIS BOOK AND APPLYING IT WILL HURT YOUR COMEDY CAREER. Don't do what I did - worst show of my life.

Summary: "My friend Josh gave me this book"
My fiend Josh gave me this book. I don't know why the did it. I gess he didn't like it at all. I took this book and wundered why there are a ahahhah keyboard on the cover. my keyboard dodn't look lie that.
I think this book relly work. Once I got it, my classmates start laughing at me more and more and I didn't even read it yet! OPnce I start reading it, I learn about punch lines and the future. I think I want to grow up to be a cruise ship entertainer. But I don't know if I have what ot takes. I was afraid to do killer comedy material but I did it. Too bad my grandmother doesn't laugh when I punch her.
Josh told me he got a better book. The Book on Comedy by James Mar but he woudn't let me read it. that book looked more cool since it's a comics. I am totally jealous!
