What’s this?

At The Humor Review, we take comedy seriously.

Every week we’ll explore how humor is used to craft a particular piece of literature, stand-up set, podcast, or anything else that can benefit creatives of all disciplines. So, if you’re writing flat dialogue, the action in your novel isn’t always rising, or you’re having trouble finding tags for your jokes? You’ve come to the right place!
