Summary
  • "From contemporary, classic comedians - like Robin Williams, Billy Crystal, John Lithgow - to the hip and hot - Margaret Cho, Jon Stewart - to the people who shaped comedy - Carol Burnett, Carl Reiner, John Cleese - the forty-nine faces in Laugh will transport you to the nights you laughed so hard, you could barely breathe and recall the delight of gags that have become legend."--BOOK JACKET. "But look closely."--BOOK JACKET. "Where is the power source in these comedians that gives them the courage to cross boundaries audaciously? To parade their insecurities? What touches them? What makes them laugh?"--BOOK JACKET. "The combination of these forty-nine, never-before-published portraits in which the men and women of Laugh dare to be themselves, and the accompanying text in which the comedians disclose some serious secrets about what tickles their funny bone - leads us to the place within them where their art is born."--BOOK JACKET.
