      I would like to thank the whole comedic world for giving me the strength to write about my passion about stand-up comedy. I would like to thank all the professional and amateur comedians that I have come to know.

      This book is a testimonial to you who led the way for me to write about stand-up comedy. So I want to say thank you to all the individuals that supported me.

      I would like to give thanks to my kids Alandra Lynn Jordan, Kendall Alonzo Jordan, and Trey Michael. Because through my motivation and my love for you within my heart this book would not have existed. I love you...Daddy.

      I would like to thank god for giving me the strength and focus through all the adversities while writing this book.

      Thanks to my loving family and friends for all their support on this book.
