A Broken Comedian

'A hilarious LAUGH-OUT LOUD book: Manages to combine story-telling depth with great gags.'

There is no hope in Decland Bunten's cage. There is no exit. Until the world famous Timur Klaun, the greatest stand-up comedian alive announces a new live talent show, promising to change the lives of great comedians who have gone unnoticed. With an expected live audience figure of 4.5 million viewers and a winning prize of £250,000 this could be Decland's exit door, if only he could find a way to get involved.

'A fairy tale story packed with laugh out jokes. Decland Bunten, a hopeless and lonely comedian who dreams of being as successful as his late idol Sal Turner, finds himself trapped in a desperate situation when he is framed for murder. Afraid that he himself has not got long to live he throws all his energy in to creating a legacy as a brilliant comedian before he is killed. ***The tension in this story keeps building and the jokes get funnier and funnier, till in the final chapter the jokes and the tension reach a riveting climax.'

Jason Shield has been writing stories for many years, he has studied character development, scene development and the story-telling art form for longer than Mother Theresa has been a Christian. Jason is an exceptionally jovial individual to go to parties with, because he also holds an accolade in truth-bending in the manner in which Uri Geller bends spoons.

Jason holds a BA (Hons) degree in Business Studies and specialised in Human Resources Management, he likes to regularly remind people of this information as if he were the only human ever to gain a certificate. After a few years of working in the HR field he wished to work in more creative industries where he could experiment with his imagination, mainly making stuff up. So he travelled to the film industry.

Jason started off with screenplay writing, taking several courses on storyline development, character development, plotting (not plotting to kill people), and he even completed a comedy course. The best joke he ever wrote was about a chicken with no legs that couldn't cross the road. He has now progressed on to writing fictional novels and hopes to dedicate his life to writing engaging stories that are heart-breaking, yet funny, tragic, yet fun to read.
