What's So Funny? - My Hilarious Life (Paperback): Tim Conway, Jane Scovell What's So Funny? - My Hilarious Life (Paperback)
Tim Conway, Jane Scovell; Foreword by Carol Burnett
R448 R417 Discovery Miles 4 170 Save R31 (7%) Ships in 18 - 22 working days

Six-time Emmy Award-winning funny man Tim Conway, best known for his roles on "The Carol Burnett Show," offers a straight-shooting and hilarious memoir about his life on stage and off as an actor and comedian.
In the annals of TV history, few entertainers have captured as many hearts, tickled as many funny bones, and brought as many families together in living rooms across America as Tim Conway. In "What's So Funny?" he brings his hilarious hijinks from the screen to the page.
Conway's often-improvised humor, razor-sharp timing, and hilarious characters have made him one of the funniest and most authentic performers to grace the stage and studio. As Carol Burnett has said, "there's no one funnier" than Tim Conway. Now, Conway takes us on a seventy-year, rags-to-riches journey that is touchingly comical and ultimately inspiring, from his pranks in small Ohio classrooms during the Great Depression to his pitch-perfect performances on national TV and in major motion pictures. Along the way, Conway shares hilarious and often moving accounts of the glory days of "The Carol Burnett Show"; his famous partnerships with entertainment greats like Harvey Korman, Don Knotts, and Dick Van Dyke; and his friendships with stars like Betty White, Bob Newhart, and, of course, Carol Burnett, who also provides an intimate foreword to the book.
As Conway continues to tour the country giving live comedy performances that enchant his always eager audiences, "What's So Funny?" brings his warmth, humor, and heart to delight and inspire fans everywhere.

Noises Off (English, French, Spanish, DVD): Michael Caine, John Ritter, Carol Burnett, Christopher Reeve, Nicollette Sheridan Noises Off (English, French, Spanish, DVD)
Michael Caine, John Ritter, Carol Burnett, Christopher Reeve, Nicollette Sheridan 1
R329 R248 Discovery Miles 2 480 Save R81 (25%) Ships in 10 - 17 working days

Michael Caine leads an all-star ensemble cast in this hilariously sexy comedy that is an outrageously funny look at the love, lies and deceit that take place behind the scenes as a group of ridiculously inept stage actors rehearse a sex farce.

Just when they finally get their performances right, things start to go wrong, as petty jealousies and rocky romances lead to a hysterically disastrous Broadway performance you'll never forget.

Critically acclaimed, Noises Off proves there's no business like show business for great comedy.

Carol Burnett spent most of her childhood in a Depression-scarred Hollywood neighborhood, where she lived in a single-room apartment with her endearingly batty grandmother, Nanny, a hypochondriacal Christian Scientist with a buried past. The child of two alcoholic parents, Burnett presents a sometimes hilarious, sometimes heartbreaking coming-of-age: from her sadly hopeful mother, who was hooked on Tinseltown fantasy, to the first signs of her own comic gift; from happy weekends spent with her father, to their last tragic meeting in a public sanatorium.

Featuring a new Afterword by the author, about teaming up with her daughter to bring this story to Broadway, One More Time is an intimate, touching, and astonishing narrative of a financially desperate but emotionally rich childhood on the wrong side of Hollywood’s tracks.

In engaging anecdotes, Carol discusses her remarkable friendships with stars such at Jimmy Stewart, Lucille Ball, Cary Grant, and Julie Andrews; the background behind famous scenes, like the moment she swept down the stairs in her curtain-rod dress in the legendary "Went With the Wind" skit; and things that would happen only to Carol - the prank with Julie Andrews that went wrong in front of the First Lady; the famous Tarzan Yell that saved her during a mugging; and the time she faked a wooden leg to get served in a famous ice cream emporium. This poignant look back allows us to cry with the actress during her sorrows, rejoice in her successes, and finally, always, to laugh.
