Humour

For fans of films like The Aristocrats, which reveal the many inspired guises comedy can take...readers of comedy essays (e.g., Carlin's When Will Jesus Bring the Pork Chops and Maher's New Rules) and comedy monologues (e.g., SeinLanguage).

In a hilarious look at real life on the comedy circuit, some of America's most famous comics share their own stories of life on the road, gigs gone wrong, and unexpected zany moments, with contributions by Jay Leno, Jerry Seinfeld, Chris Rock, Mike Myers, Bill Maher, Joan Rivers, Jeff Foxworthy, and others.
