Comedy from the British perspective

Attention comedy experts: You might have thought you’d read every book on comedy that there is to be read. Think again.

In the UK Guardian, William Cook presents his list of the top 10 books about comedy. Cook is a Guardian columnist (who writes about comedy!) who also has written several books about comedy.

We’ve only heard of one of these books! (The Female Half read John Lahr’s bio of Dame Edna Everage.)

Among the books listed are histories of British television comedy and bios devoted to Morecambe and Wise, Frankie Howerd and Spike Milligan.
