STEVE MARTIN ON STAND-UP COMEDY
Monday, January 21st, 2008“Comedy is a distortion of what is happening, and there will always be something happening.”
After the exhausting mess of Schulz and Peanuts, I wanted a book that moved quick and didn’t bullshit. Steve Martin’s stand-up memoir, Born Standing Up, did the trick. Great writing, very subtle and smart jokes. Has anybody read his fiction?

Awhile back I read “Pure Drivel.” I remember it being good, if not great. I honestly can’t remember much about it though.

Cool. Thanks, Lee.

I might be able to remember more about books I read several years ago if I did fun mind maps of them!
