Beyond a joke: inside the dark world of stand-up comedy
Dessau, Bruce
Beyond a joke: inside the dark world of stand-up comedy - Preface 2011 - xv, 285 p., [16] p. of plates
Comedians are not normal. If they were normal they wouldn't want to go onstage and make thousands of strangers laugh every night. 'Beyond a Joke' is the story of dysfunctional lives lived to excess: of alcohol, drugs, sex - and running marathons.
