Between the Laughs takes us inside the minds of our greatest
comedians, dating back almost 100 years-but not to find jokes or
gags. Through their words, as they discuss their profession, we
learn how they feel about comedy, and about each other. The greats
of Vaudeville, silent and sound films, radio, TV, and stand-up have
all had much to say through the decades about the art of making
people laugh. As they attest, their job is not all fun and games.
Here is an entertaining, educational, and thought-provoking
collection of observations and opinions by legendary comedians and
current favorites who, when the spotlight is off, take their comedy
seriously, and who have been willing to share their knowledge,
jealousies, failures, and triumphs when speaking between the
laughs. Garry Berman is a pop culture historian whose previous
books include Best of the Britcoms, We're Going To See The Beatles
, and Perfect Fool: The Life and Career of Ed Wynn. He lives in New
Jersey with his wife Karen and their two spoiled dogs.
