About this book

Comedy at the Edge: How Stand-up in the 1970s Changed America by Zoglin, Richard. Paperback edition. ISBN: 9781582346250.

€œComedy at the Edge is a detailed examination of how our current political, religious and cultural sensibility emerged from small comedy clubs€¦An irresistible read and a key book for understanding our era.€€”Buffalo News What Peter Biskind did for filmmaking, Richard Zoglin does for comedy in this meticulously researched and eminently readable account of stand-up comedy in the 1970s, when a small group of brilliant, iconoclastic comedians ruled the world€”and quite possibly changed it, too.
