Who's Who in Comedy: Comedians, Comics and Clowns from Vaudeville to Today's Stand-Ups

by Ronald L. Smith

Over 400 profiles of performers (the hot and the nearly forgotten) from every comic medium. Entries go beyond mere biography to describe each artist's comedic style, relate trademark jokes or gags, list complete credits, and often, to offer colleague's insights into their work. Includes three appendixes listing comedians by nickname, category, and catch phrase.
