Beschreibung
"Can comedy be taught? Someone, at some point, seemed to think so. The Chicago Stand-Up program has enrolled young comedians for nearly a decade. Its teachers and students all know how bits work-in theory, at least. They know that there's a line between sharp and cruel, that sad becomes funny at the right angle, that the worst is the best, the truth is the worst, and any moment of your life that isn't a punchline will either get you to a punchline or force you to be one. They're all afraid to be one. Artie may be too handsome for standup, Olivia too reluctant to examine her own life, and Phil too afraid to cause harm. Kruger may be too vanilla to command his students' respect, Ashbee too detached. And then we have Dorothy-the only woman on the program's faculty-who though preparing to launch a comeback tour can't tell whether she's too abiding, too ambitious, or too ambivalent. Whether a visiting professor-the high-profile, controversy-steeped comedian, Manny Reinhardt-will do more to help or harm their cause remains to be seen. But he's on his way. He'll be arriving sooner than anyone thinks"--
