What is it to be a stand-up comedian? To be funny, solo? You have
no character-role, no double-act partner, and nowhere to look but
out into the darkness, with just a microphone, an audience and your
imagination. This is a job without an annual appraisal; a job where
you are publicly appraised every ten seconds. The results are harsh
and obvious: if the audience isn't laughing, you 'died'; if they
can't stop, you 'killed'. Deborah Frances-White and Marsha Shandur
unpack the inner-workings of the minds of comics, sharing their
secrets, insecurities and successes; their betes noires and their
biggest fears. Featuring interviews with a host of comedians
including Eddie Izzard, Moshe Kasher, Sarah Millican, Jim Jeffries,
Stewart Lee, Lewis Black, Jenny Eclair, Todd Barry, Richard
Herring, Marc Maron, Stephen K Amos, Rich Hall, Zoe Lyons, Marcus
Brigstocke, Phill Jupitus, Gary Delaney, Mark Watson, Greg Davies
and many more, this excellent book lets you in to the hearts and
minds of celebrated comedians, away from the stage and off the mic.
