Stand Up in 10 Steps

The hands-on workbook that turns "I could never be funny" into a five-minute set — or a presentation people actually remember.

For comedians, corporate speakers, TEDx hopefuls — and anyone tired of death-by-PowerPoint. You don't have to be a professional stand-up to make a room laugh. You just need the steps.

Judy's setups, lines and exercises work on almost any topic. Ten clear steps take you from a blank page to material you can actually deliver — with the confidence that it'll land.

  • How anybody can write comedy — no "naturally funny" required
  • Simple exercises to stop stalling and start writing today
  • How to find your hook — on stage or in the boardroom
  • The three mistakes new comedians make (and how to skip them)
