I had CWSBS back in the '90s...worked my way through the book and I mean worked. Great for someone new to standup or for a pro that wants to brush up on some skills.
I took some classes with Gene and the guy knows his stuff. This is kind of the old style of standup comedy, but he does get your mind thinking...and about setups and surprise punclines.
This is a review of the updated book, but really, it's kind of the same as the old one, but with some thoughts from some new comics.

If you want to learn comedy writing from a pro, buy this book! It can be helpful for screenwriters, writers, and stand-up comedians. Another good book is "The Comic Toolbox" by John Vorhaus. But it's mainly for writers and screenwriters.
