Download or read book A Director s Guide to the Art of Stand up written by Chris Head and published by Bloomsbury Publishing. This book was released on 2018-07-12 with total page 201 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Stand-up: it's the ultimate solo art form. Yet, behind the scenes, you will increasingly find the shadowy figure of a director. For comics themselves and for those who support them, this is the first book to give the director's perspective on creating and performing stand-up comedy. Drawing on his own experience of directing stand-up alongside speaking to comedians and their directors, Chris Head produces a revealing perspective on the creative process, comic persona, writing stand-up, structuring material and delivering a performance. Directors interviewed include Logan Murray, John Gordillo and Simon McBurney, who between them have directed Eddie Izzard, Michael McIntyre, Milton Jones, Lenny Henry and French & Saunders. With a foreword by BBC arts editor Will Gompertz and contributions from many other interviewees including Oliver Double (author of Getting the Joke), this is the only book that goes all the way from one-liners to theatre via comedy club sets and full-length shows. Perfect for stand-ups from newbies to pros, students of comedy, academics studying and teaching stand-up and for directors themselves, A Director's Guide to the Art of Stand-up offers hundreds of inspiring practical insights and shows how creating the comedian's highly personal, individual act can be a deeply collaborative process.
Download or read book Based on a True Story written by Norm Macdonald and published by Random House. This book was released on 2016-09-20 with total page 241 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER • “Driving, wild and hilarious” (The Washington Post), here is the incredible “memoir” of the legendary actor, gambler, raconteur, and Saturday Night Live veteran. When Norm Macdonald, one of the greatest stand-up comics of all time, was approached to write a celebrity memoir, he flatly refused, calling the genre “one step below instruction manuals.” Norm then promptly took a two-year hiatus from stand-up comedy to live on a farm in northern Canada. When he emerged he had under his arm a manuscript, a genre-smashing book about comedy, tragedy, love, loss, war, and redemption. When asked if this was the celebrity memoir, Norm replied, “Call it anything you damn like.”

Book excerpt: It's time we took Bill Clinton seriously. No, really it is. He is, after all, President of the United States and leader of the free world.

The first joke book to highlight the career of an American President since, er the one on Ronald Reagan, this book has the creme de la creme of the Bill Clinton jokes, With: *The long and the short of it (straight-forward jokes) *Short, Stubby, Bendy ones (one-liners) *Hillary Wouldn't Like It (Clinton jokes your mother wouldn't like) *The Clinton Files (hilarious Clinton lists) *Clinton's Iambic Pentameter (Clinton Poetry) Outrageous, hilarious, wicked and wonderful, all jokes are, of course, in the very best possible taste.

Download or read book Difficult People written by Catriona Wright and published by Harbour Publishing. This book was released on 2018-10-20 with total page 141 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Manipulators and liars, egomaniacs, bullies, interrupters, condescenders, ice queens, backstabbers, hypocrites, withholders, belligerents, self-deceivers, whiners, know-it-alls, nitpickers: these are some of the characters you’ll encounter in Difficult People, a collection of stories that investigates and celebrates difficult people (and some animals). As these characters fumble through their quests for YouTube fame, stand-up glory, romantic love, stable employment or anyone who can tolerate them, they reveal that we are all, in our own ways, difficult people. Praise for Catriona Wright’s recent book of poetry, Table Manners: “... a baroque feast of juicy diction and inventive wordplay that explores food as social ritual and slippery signifier of desire.” —Barb Carey, The Toronto Star “Deft, dark, and unflinching, Catriona Wright’s work is stand-up comedy for the mind.” —Emily Schultz, author of The Blondes “If you've ever Instagrammed your lunch, or directed distain toward somebody who has, this is the book for you. The poems are vivid, surprising, and pretty much devourable.” —Kerry Clare, 49th Shelf “Tightly woven and elaborate in their conceit, the poems in Table Manners linger both on the mind and palate.” —Gillian Sze, Montreal Review of Books
