By a very wide margin, it's The Deer on a Bicycle: Excursions into the Writing of Humor By Patrick F. McManus

The Comedy Bible by Judy Carter and Stand up Comedy- The Book also by Judy Carter. These have been excellent resources for me. While 'Stand up' is kind of dated- the formulas still work.
I'm hitting one of her workshops in Vancouver next January actually Michelle!
