Publisher Description:
Comedy is cool again. Perhaps cooler than it's ever been. Yet in traditional media, coverage of the stand-up world still tends to get lumped in with that of music. Why is it that unlike music, film, literature, theater, architecture, or television, the public perception of comedy remains that of mere good-timey, alcohol-enhanced, interactive sideshow as opposed to legitimate art form? In print and online, there are knowledgeable, unbiased, professional writers debating and deconstructing everything from sports and fashion to food and video games. Where are the great comedy critics? TheSpitTake.com likes to think that we've found a few of them already.
