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 the black/dark and the blue genres of comedy, including the comedians who have mastered the styles. Black comedy makes use of satire, taboos, morbid humor and the worst of humanity as fodder for comedy. Blue comedy is off-color, risqué and often indecent or profane.
