Though this is a book for bands, most of the instruction given can be used for stand-up comedians. It gives you lots of information from branding, to web presence, to self producing, and getting publicized. Lots of great information especially for someone who has zero business sense like me.
This is a very good book and a very useful tool for any independent, or

excellent. well written, thorough. lots of good stuff in here.
Skimmed--story research. Great info, well-organized.
Fantastic info so far for ANYONE interested in indie media. Podcasters, authors, vidoegraphers... you name it.
Great book if you want to learn how to start a band, or just want some legal questions answered about copyrights and stuff!
