“Informative, insight- – Mark C. Miller, “The book lives up to – Aimee Levitt, |
A wide-ranging, fun-packed look at the principles and practice
of comedy, from its origins in pre-history to the worlds
of movies, TV, prose, theater, stand-up, and jokes.
Exploring the historical, mythological, anthropological, biological, neuro-
logical, psychological, philosophical, and even theological underpinnings
of humor, the author concludes that (spoiler alert!) Comedy is God.
The single most popular book on comedy ever written by David Misch!
