Funny As by Paul Horan Reso Gratuito

From the Kiwi Concert Party to The Topp Twins, Billy T. James to Rose Matafeo, Fred Dagg to Flight of the Conchords, New Zealanders have made each other laugh in ways distinctive to these islands. Funny As tells the story of comedy in this country through more than 300 pictures and an engaging text based on over 100 interviews with our best comedians. Published alongside a major Television New Zealand documentary series at a time when comedy has never been bigger, the book takes us inside the comedy clubs, cabarets and television studios where comedians work; it charts the rise of cartoons and skits, parody and stand-up; it introduces us to how New Zealand’s funniest men and women have made sense (and nonsense) out of this country’s changing culture and society. Funny As is the authoritative, hilarious story of New Zealand comedy.
Comes in one of four variant dust-jackets, each featuring renowned Kiwi comedians: Billy T James, Fred Dagg, The Topp Twins and Flight of the Conchords.
