    • Im deutschen Fernsehen boomt die Comedy-Szene, und es herrscht ein Mangel an talentierten Gagschreibern. Humorproduzenten für Satire-Sendungen und Comedy-Formate sind stark gefragt und gut bezahlt. Doch wo findet man diese kreativen Köpfe, und wie wird man selbst zum Gagschreiber? John Vorhaus, ein erfahrener Comedy-Autor mit Hollywood-Hintergrund, teilt in seinem Werk die essenziellen Grundlagen und Geheimnisse des Humors. Leser lernen, wie man Witze erfindet, sie strukturiert und häufige Fehler von Comedy-Anfängern vermeidet. Die scheinbar chaotische Welt des Witzes ist tatsächlich von praktischen Regeln geprägt, deren Beachtung entscheidend für den Erfolg ist. Die Themen umfassen unter anderem die Verbindung von Komik mit Wahrheit und Schmerz, die Bedeutung komischer Prämissen, die Entwicklung komischer Figuren sowie verschiedene Arten von Geschichten und Comedy-Formaten. Vorhaus bietet nicht nur Regeln und Werkzeuge, sondern auch Motivation für angehende Gagschreiber. Sein Ansatz ist eine wertvolle Ressource für alle, die in der Comedy-Branche Fuß fassen möchten.
