A great combination of new portraits and funny stories of my favorite comedians.
'Laugh' Lives Up To Its Title
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 25 years ago
This is, without a doubt, one of the classiest, funniest coffee table tomes I've seen in a long while. William Claxton has always been one of my favorite photographers, and his breathtaking portraits of the great comics herein are pure genius! As for the accompanying stories--funny as hell! I particularly like Dan Aykroyd's witty tale about his toilet paper-tossing father, and Andy Dick's outrageously blue, passive-aggressive tirade contending he's definitely NOT a comedian. The eclectic mix of personalities in 'Laugh' covers all the bases. If you remember Sid Caesar from 'Your Show of Shows,' he's in here. And if you prefer the avant garde stylings of Bob Odenkirk and David Cross of HBO's 'Mr. Show,' 'Laugh's' got them as well.In short, great idea, great book. So great, in fact, that I recently gave away ten copies as Christmas gifts. 'Tis the season to be jolly, right? And ain't no book jollier than this one.
