Greetings fellow readers and book enthusiasts. I suppose i am looking for something quite specific.
I'm looking to read a book about the art of Comedy, its history and research, here are some points that would hopefully explain what i want (preferably in one book, but don't shy away from recommending a couple):
(obligatory):
– Where did comedy come from and when did it start to shape up to the thing we know now as comedy.
– Types of comedy.
– Differences between comedy in Film, theatre and day to day life. etc..
– analysis of known comics and comedians
(optional):
– what makes good comedy.
– workshop about writing comedy in different channels.
