Standup Comedy as Artistic Expression
ISBN: 9783836439206 / Angielski / Miękka / 116 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Despite the common memory of the 1950s being an intolerant, conformist decade in American history, many "underground" cultures developed and thrived in response to America's homogenized national culture. Lenny Bruce, the comedian, was immersed within these cultures, using standup comedy as a vehicle to express his and his audiences' disillusionment. This book aims to place Bruce back in his original context of the 1950s in order to understand why the 1960s youth embraced him as their own. By examining the 1950s underground, the history of standup comedy, and Bruce's comedy, the 1950s youth...

The Legacy of the Wisecrack: Stand-up Comedy as the Great American Literary Form
ISBN: 9781599424958 / Angielski / Miękka / 240 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Despite the claim of many a Borscht Belt comic that he is a practitioner of "the worlds second-oldest professsion," stand-up comedy is a young and distinctly American literary form. It was not until the last decades of the nineteenth century when, enabled by unprecedented prosperity and the right to free expression, that monologists began appearing in American vaudeville halls. Yet even though it has since become an entertainment industry mainstay, stand-up comedy has received precious little scholarly attention.
