90 Books Every Comedy Fan Should Read - Page 2

"Books are very important to comedy, and historically they've been the one medium that takes comedy as importantly as it should be taken, in terms of its history, execution, theory, and practice. Here then are 90 comedy and comedy-related titles — memoirs, fiction, essay collections, interviews, TV tie-ins, and more — that a student of comedy's library simply must include."
