Korman, Gordan. Maxx Comedy

Korman, Gordon. Maxx Comedy. Hyperion, 2003 [0-7868-0746-6]
Max is a funny kid in his 6th grade class and is always trying out his comedy routines on his friends (who are getting sick of them.) One day he hears of a contest in Chicago to find the funniest kid in America. This is just for him. What he needs is a good audience to practice on before he gets to the big stage in Chicago. Most of this 153 page is him trying to set up schemes to get audiences. He eventually makes his tryout tape and sends it off to the contest. Then, of course, there is a wild trip to make it to Chicago. This is a funny book in the Korman tradition.
