"Baggy Pants Comedy takes readers inside the burlesque houses of
Depression-era America to explore the role of comedy in a show
remembered mostly for strip-tease. It examines how burlesque
comics, straightmen, and talking women approached the craft of
comedy, working in a genre that relied not on scripts but on a
remembered tradition of comedy bits that circulated orally. The
book opens a long-neglected area of American folklore, presenting
dozens of fondly-remembered routines like "Who's On First" and
"Niagara Falls (Slowly I Turned)," as well as long-forgotten
classics in print for the first time"--
