Off the Mic: The World's Best Stand-Up Comedians Get Serious About Comedy (Performance Books)

What is it to be a stand-up comedian? To be funny, solo? You have no character-role, no double-act partner, and nowhere to look but out into the darkness, with just a microphone, an audience and your imagination. This is a job without an annual appraisal; a job where you are publicly appraised every ten seconds. The results are harsh and obvious: if the audience isn't laughing, you 'died'; if they can't stop, you 'killed'. Deborah Frances-White and Marsha Shandur unpack the inner-workings of the minds of comics, sharing their secrets, insecurities and successes; their bêtes noires and their b... [Read More]

So, Anyway...

John Cleese’s  huge comedic influence has stretched across generations; his sharp irreverent eye and the unique brand of physical comedy he perfected with Monty Python, on Fawlty Towers, and beyond now seem written into comedy’s DNA. In this rollicking memoir, So, Anyway…, Cleese takes readers on a Grand Tour of his ascent in the entertainment world, from his humble beginnings in a sleepy English town and his early comedic days at Cambridge University (with future Python partner Graham Chapman), to the founding of the landmark comedy troupe that would propel him to worldwide renown. Cl...

Crying with Laughter.

Bob Monkhouse recounts his life and 40 years of stardom in show business, during which time he has known both triumph and tragedy. His first son was born disabled with cerebral palsy; his first marriage fell apart painfully; and he was arrested in 1978 for conspiracy to defraud, which led to a two-year struggle with the law that took him to the dock of the Old Bailey. But with these low points came the high: his first successful TV series in 1953; starring in the first "Carry On" film; topping the ratings with hit TV series; and fondly-remembered love affairs, before he married his long-time s...

The Pioneer, or California Monthly Magazine, Vol. 1: Jan. To June, 1854 (Classic Reprint)

Excerpt from The Pioneer, or California Monthly Magazine, Vol. 1: Jan. To June, 1854Beside Mrs. B there are three other women on the Bar. One is called The Indiana Girl, from the name of her Pa's hotel; though it must be confessed that the sweet name of girl seems sadly. Incon gruous, when applied to such a gigantic piece of humanity. I have a great desire to see her, which will probably not be gratified, as she leaves in a few days for the valley. But at any rate I can say that I have heard her. The far-off roll of her mighty voice, booming through two closed doors and a long entry, added gre... [Read More]
