The Rolling Stone Book of Comedy

Comedy, as "Rolling Stone" noted, is the rock and roll of the 1990s. The boom in TV specials, comedy clubs and, above all, the rise to superstardom of comedians such as Steve Martin, Robin Williams, Eddie Murphy, Lily Tomlin, John Candy and Dan Ackroyd point to an enormous audience with an appetite for laughter. This book includes portraits and interviews with comedians - from classic personalities to newcomers.
