   Description
Comedy 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.
