Product Information
What is it about stand-up comedy that allows comedians to use it as a vehicle of self-expression and rumination on their identities? Why is it now a place for social and cultural critique, from the existential to the political? This book demonstrates that the sociological organisation of stand-up comedy allows it to flourish as a space of identity politics.Product Identifiers
