Please note that the content of this book primarily consists of articles available from Wikipedia or other free sources online. While it's true that comedy is defined differently from person to person and culture to culture, comedy's intent is to amuse and get the laugh. Comedy can take the form of social or political satire, slapstick, irony, parody, black comedy and many other forms. Comedy is an ever-evolving art that mutates with the whims of the cultural funny bone.
This book explores prop comedy, and the comedians who have mastered the style. In prop comedy, the comedian uses various props in comical ways, often using several objects in one act. Included are Carrot Top, Gallagher, Steve Martin, Harpo Marx, Rip Taylor, Tommy Cooper, Jeff Dunham,, and many more.
