“The Book” Project

In April of 2009 I started a project I simply call “The Book” – I carry a book with signatures from Headlining Comedians, Club Owners, Agents, and other Influential People. The task is simple: Sign the book with whatever short piece of advice you think would help me in my comedy career. The goal was to use “The Book” as a guide to my own career. After I started collecting signatures I realized this would be a great tool to share with other comics.

With signatures and advice collected ranging from Larry the Cable Guy to Bob Newhart. Entries have inlcuded everything from “Find your voice!” to “Don’t Fuck the Waitresses!”

I am actively pursuing ways to get the book published. If you are able to assist in any way. Please contact me – AndrewRivers[at]Gmail.com.

This is a clip from almost 2 years ago of Christopher Titus on the Bob Rivers Show in Seattle, Wa. I was just getting started at Open Mics. I had written a stupid local joke about the Oklahoma Thunder (back when they sucked). I told it during the commercial break and everybody laughed. Then when Titus was on the air, they had me tell it again. They didn’t tell me I was going to do this so I was caught off guard. This time they let it die in the air and the joke BOMBED. lol. Titus went on to give some valuable comedy advice that I look back on to this day. This was part of the reasoning behind starting the BOOK project, so I could have these great comments to look back on. Luckily this one was caught on tape.
