This new how-to book about the art of comedy includes an even richer assortment of examples of the author's unique humor. \u003cbr\u003eIn Make 'Em Laugh, Allen laces his formal instruction with hilarious ad-libs, written jokes, TV comedy sketches, satires, song parodies, humorous essays, amusing autobiographical reminiscences, one-act plays, witty speeches, and stand-up monologues from his comedy concerts. \u003cbr\u003eNoel Coward called Steve Allen the most talented man in America, and he is probably the most borrowed-from comedian of all time. The perceptive reader will recognize many of the comic ideas that Allen originated during the \"Golden Age\" of television comedy - ideas that are still influential in the 1990's. \u003cbr\u003eIf there were a college course in creating and performing comedy, Make 'Em Laugh would be the ideal textbook.\u003c\/p\u003e\n        \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 339\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 1.34 x 9.27 x 6.36 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e September 01, 1993\u003c\/div\u003e\n            ","brand":"Books by splitShops","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42744743002175,"sku":"9780879758370","price":41.45,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0105\/8226\/1823\/files\/9fd578e1576452c87300348f4ccb5d85.webp?v=1765169292","url":"https:\/\/dhlswag.com\/products\/make-em-laugh-hardcover-1","provider":"BBB","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
