"This book is outstanding. It strikes just the right balance between history and story, with three-dimensional characters and vivid scenes, and it finds a good focal point for what could otherwise turn into a sprawling mess. If you're at all interested in the world professional comedians inhabit or in the history of the entertainment industry, I highly recommend it."
"So I've studied comedy a lot because I want to get into it. This book pretty much soley focused on the Comedy Store in LA and the people involved in it. A pretty good read, but seriously, I wonder why not that many women were involved in it?"
"An entertaining and well-paced read about a period in comedy history that I knew little about. Would be a fitting companion to Steve Martin's Born Standing Up."
