Comediennes
Author: Darryl J. Littleton
Publisher: Rowman & Littlefield
ISBN: 1480329754
Category : Humor
Languages : en
Pages : 246
Book Description
It wasn't until the 10th century that women were allowed to perform, and then only in rare incidences. Like many art forms, female comedy got its start in the church and expanded to stage, radio, film, and television. For the longest time, it has been believed that women aren't funny. The stories within these pages will not only debunk that myth but will make you wonder how it ever got started in the first place. Women of all races have not only taken center stage in comedy, but in many cases, have dominated it. This book thoroughly explores the genre. Comediennes: Laugh Be a Lady chronicles the evolution of the humor through the research of Darryl and Tuezdae Littleton and the scores of interviews they conducted with veteran female performers from all mediums, as well as Tuezdae's own experiences as a comedienne. Startling facts are revealed and tributes are paid to the icons of yesteryear by the titans of today in their own words and sentiments. Women have always made us laugh, from their outrageous characters, pratfall humor, cutting barbs, clever wit and unforgettable side-splitting moments. Their “herstory” has only just begun.

The Great Gasbag
Author: Joy Behar
Publisher: HarperCollins
ISBN: 0062699903
Category : Humor
Languages : en
Pages : 158
Book Description
The beloved stand-up comedian and co-host of ABC’s The View presents a hilarious alphabetical guide to all things wrong with Donald Trump. Put down the Valium, get out of bed: Joy Behar is here to save you from self-harm as she hot-walks you through the Trump presidency. On her hit ABC daytime show The View, Joy has been blunt in her condemnation of the comb-over-in-chief, and her words have electrified and inspired millions in the resistance for whom #notmypresident has become a rallying cry. So putting aside despair, Joy’s response is one that will cheer the hearts of Never Trumpers everywhere, because the only sane response to the insanity in the White House is laughter. The Great Gasbag is Joy’s answer to the hell that is the Trump Orange House. Structured as an A–Z guide (A is for Alternative Facts; B is for Bigly; C is for Conman, etc.), this book offers much-needed doses of levity for everyone determined to #resist. Taking on the bloviated bumpkin from every conceivable angle, Joy puts Trump in his gold-plated place, making us laugh as she dissects the worst president since ever. Funny, caustic, and a call to arms for anyone who’s had enough of living in Trumpland, The Great Gasbag is the only study guide you’ll ever need to survive Donald and his world.
