Comedy, Character & Control – Paperback

$20.00

We’re often told “it’s not what you do, but how you do it.” The problem is, very few books focus on the “how.” Not clearly. Not honestly. At least not from someone with a mic in one hand and panic dripping off their brow.

​Veteran comedy magician Michael Misko brings 25 years of stage time, missteps, and learning that the real trick isn’t the one in your hand – it’s how you handle the room. Inside, you’ll learn:
 

  • How to be funny on purpose – not just accidentally likeable.
  • Why “character” isn’t a costume (and how to stop acting like it is).
  • How to use silence, stillness, and timing to get laughs without overselling.
  • What to do when the tech fails, the crowd is cold, and your soul leaves your body mid-act.

Whether you’re holding a mic, a deck of cards, or your breath before walking onstage, Comedy, Character & Control is your guide to becoming the kind of performer people want to see again.

This isn’t a book full of scripts or tricks.
​It’s a roadmap to landing the laugh, commanding the pause, and controlling the moment.
