Publisher's Synopsis
Which comedians do other comedians laugh at? Inside this third volume of The Legendry Laughter Series, "In Their Faces: Comedy Beyond The Box, Up To Lenny Bruce," essayist Rob Foster offers up a few candidates for your consideration. It's about some of the classic comedy masters who spent their careers pushing the envelope of their profession - turning heads, raising eyebrows, and reinventing the craft of laughmaking - up to the era when one particuar comic turned it on its ear! The Legendary Laughter Series highlights classic comedy and the stars who populated it, from the silents to the television age, engagingly written, revealing the stories behind the laughs - by a lifelong student of the great laugh-getters, and a fellow practitioner of comedy. Need a laugh-break? Relax, pull up a whoopie-cushion and enjoy!
