From Dying Laughing

The late Garry Shandling shares his advice on the secret of comedy in a new film.

In Dying Laughing, the Larry Sanders creator reveals the answer he gave when he was approached by an eager young comic wannabe in Los Angeles.

The youngster asked him: 'There's got to be a secret right? There's got to be a shortcut'

See his response below – or in Dying Laughing, when it comes out in cinemas and on demand in the UK next Friday.

The movie, which features more than 50 comedians sharing stories, is dedicated to Shandling, who died in March last year at the age of 66.
