I am a huge stand up comedy fan, even having dated one, so I enjoy the culture. It took me a good hundred pages to get in to the groove of this book. It seemed to me that the snippets by the artists were cut off almost mid sentence and my OCD of not having the artists picture next to the interviews was something I struggled with. Overall the book got into a groove that I settled in to and thoroughly enjoyed. The photos are fabulous and made you wish you knew what they were thinking in that moment. The book really delves in to the lives of stand-ups and what they struggle with and enjoy as they navigate life as an entertainer, I will probably go back and reread the first hundred pages again knowing now what the cadence of the book is.
