Comedy is king. From multimillion-dollar TV specials to sold-out stand-up shows and TikTok stardom, comedy has never been more popular, democratized, or influential. Comedians have become organizing forces across culture—as trusted as politicians and as fawned-over as celebrities—yet comedy as an art form has gone under-considered throughout its history, even as it has ascended as a cultural force.

Great book about the modern state of comedy
Revisado: 03-21-25
I really enjoy his podcast and his ability to distill a comedians whole act and persona so succinctly. He has a lot of interesting observations and a brief history of the modern era of comedy.
As for criticism I would have liked to hear about more comedians and anecdotes from the many shows he’s attended and interviews he’s done. There was a lot of talk about the right wing and anti woke comedian movement, which is definitely a huge part of the story, especially in recent years. But I would have liked that to not have dominated the second half quite as much.
Overall I’m glad I listened. If you are a fan of comedy to the point you want to hear analysis of it you will enjoy this book most likely.
