N2  - "101 Comedy Games for Children and Grown-Ups includes eight different sections, each geared toward a different genre of comedy. The first section concentrates on introductory games for getting to know fellow participants and familiarizing oneself with the basic rules of comedy. Later chapters introduce games geared toward a specific type of comedy, including physical comedy, comedy writing, sketch comedy, stand-up, improv, musical comedy, and prop comedy. Each section includes numerous games, which are presented with a general description of the activity, the purpose behind it, a list of supplies (if any are needed), helpful hints, and rule variations. Jasheway also provides a key to indicate the target ages for each activity, making it easier to pick the best games for the participating group. Jasheway's book promises to provide fun times and lots of laughs for anyone that picks it up!"--
