About this title

Synopsis

You’ve written the jokes. Now let’s talk about what the hell to do with them.

In Flexing Your Funny Muscle, veteran comedian Mike Lukas (NBC, Comedy Central, Second City) shows you how to deliver laughs like a pro—on stage, at work, in conversations, or anywhere there’s tension begging to be broken.

This is Book Three of the Funny Muscle series, and it’s all about execution. You’ll learn:

How to discover your unique Comedy Delivery Style
What separates killer emcees from awkward time-fillers
The right (and wrong) ways to handle hecklers and haters
The secret to making cold crowds laugh (without begging)
When to flex, when to stay silent, and how to save a joke mid-flop
How to use act-outs, frog-banks, and performance tricks that get real laughs
How to add comedy to your talks, writing, or post-apocalyptic TED Talk

Plus: Get the truth about comedy “rules,” how to get booked, what pro comics do that amateurs don’t, and why bombing isn’t failure—it’s data.

This isn’t theory. This is the field guide.
Ready to flex that Funny Muscle where it counts?
