Book Preview:

#1 I was a comedy writer for my college radio show. I was wondering how I would get into show business, since it seemed impossible. I didn’t know how you enter show business, but I was sure it wasn’t through college.

#2 I wanted to be a comedian, and I spent my time talking to comedy legends and asking them how they got into comedy. I was told that John Belushi, Joe Flaherty, Bill Murray, and Dan Aykroyd all got into Second City theater by saying Give me a chance and being given the chance.

#3 I was in love with all things sketch comedy, and I was looking for a way into that world. I interviewed Del Close, a guru of sketch comedy performers, and he changed the course of my thinking and even my life.

#4 Del Close was a comedy legend who had been involved in nearly every edgy comedy scene over the past thirty years. He was also in dire straits: he had been out of work for a while, and his apartment was cluttered with books, pulverized furniture, and rampant ashtrays.
