Andrew Clark

4.9/5 (28810 ratings)

Description:What Makes Canadians so Funny?No one is better qualified to answer that question than journalist Andrew Clark, Canada's first full-time comedy columnist. Stand and Deliver delivers the inside stories of such famous Canadian comics as Jim Carrey, Sandra Shamas, the cast of SCTV, and The Kids in the Hall, and profiles major behind-the-scenes players Lorne Michaels (Saturday Night Live) and Mark Breslin (Yuk Yuks).Beginning with Canada's original international comedy sensation, the World War I troupe The Dumbells, Clark traces the thread of a particularly Canadian style of humour that is still found in the work of today's amateur-night hopefuls, and bona fide comedy superstars.An in-depth look at Montreal's Just For Laughs Festival--the world's premier showcase for comedic talent--reveals the Darwinian "survival of the funniest" battles that take place between comics, each hoping to be the "next big thing."Stand and Deliver also exposes the dark side of the comedy industry--the relentless touring, the hecklers, the drugs, booze and parties that can alienate, demoralize and even kill a would-be star.Stand and Deliver is an endlessly fascinating expose, not only of the insular and frequently bizarre world of comedy, but also of a neglected aspect of Canada's national character. Wryly witty, Stand and Deliver is a no-hold-barred look at the serious business of being funny.We have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
