This brings me to the end of the book, which is in itself the culmination of almost a decade spent researching stand-up comedy. In that time, I’ve met many brilliant people, laughed a great deal and become moderately good at stand-up. I’ve also facilitated a lot of comedy workshops. In these final paragraphs, I will tug at some of the threads that run through the book, and reflect on what my time exploring comedy has revealed.
