"And a colt event. So he did that for gear. That's when you met me. But then about i guess. Fifteen years ago he started writing articles for vulture and split cider magazine about standup history. A little bit and that sort of started this ball rolling and then i got this insane. Job against insane is in the right. Where but surprising job teaching stand up history and performance at. Usc is an adjunct professor. That possessor are you currently doing that. Yes yeah yeah yeah so let me get with exactly the classes you teach. Stand up in what else. Stand up history where we're gonna put me by the way they've been combined but this year in the spring. I think we're gonna tease them out. Is that term tease her. Yeah so we're going teams. Does out your the professor can make up. Whatever adjunct baby different key. Yeah so so anyway. So between that and the writing the articles and another there was a pandemic. And i was like i feel like no one's really wrote that story right and so as you can see. The book is short. I mean the bucks of fifty pages. It's a fun. Read it If feels like a history that's been taken for granted like you just assume it's something that exists. You know writing the way that things appear and we feel that it just exists. You know it's funny. How our brains do that. You know the prisoner of the moment type of thinking right but I love how you take us third. And i wanted to stand up comedy. Is it particular american art form. Kinda like jazz get we sure is it. Sure is i mean. There were obviously variety performers and there was something good english music hall where they funny people as part of it but just the one person standing on stage and that's the whole act. Yeah that's it. Yeah that's mainly in american art form. And so yeah so we're embracing it and what happened was like in my lifetime like there was a book written by somebody else about mark twain in those that tori tori did and he was like. This is obviously the first standup up. I was like oh so now. We're sort of re branded those funny lecturer guys standards as beginning yet. And that's how. I got to artists ward and and and that group. So if it's real interesting so you You have four pillars. I guess of starters artists word mark twain bert williams who's forgotten black comic And and Will rogers correct which The each kind of move forward a little bit and like i never really know that much about artists ward. I think i read a little bit about him when i went. I was into twain for awhile and was reading up on him and you know kind of what his thing was. But it's interesting how it stand up kind of starts in the on the page you know has someone who's writing newspaper articles app. You know which is interesting that it starts on the page which to me is. That's the first piece of technology. And what i love about. Your book is that it also traces technology and social movements to trace standup which you kind of. It helps you to understand why certain comics are kind of popular in their in their time with lawrence stores. And i didn't realize it. Kinda when i was writing it. But i i guess that's my framing technique was like these are the venues. These are the technologies that these funny guys and ladies had to deal with and these are the comics that excelled in those generations. I guys what's interesting that is that Entertainment is very raw. You know live entertainment it. It's very it's opera as you say or it's it's very formalized you know there's feeder they've been theater when you think theaters. It's really shakespeare. You know in the classics mostly. That's not true. There were there was also like i mean. Obviously the you know uncle. Toms cabin was huge. Lay i'm saying it's a formalized thing you know it's made for people that you know. They have money in their plunking down there watching. It's it's very polite society that are going to these things where this is a slightly different that starts to change a little bit with these The different way than entertainment is being presented. Medicine shows things shows are coming to your town. Basically banned entertainment was yeah. It's i mean again. I wasn't around. So i'm sure however i write about. It is not exactly correct. 'cause i've only read about people who wrote about it. Who read about it inside. So it's we're so far removed from those eighteen hundred show those shows from the eighteen hundreds. Yeah but yeah. And i you know there was so much of it and i'm often wondering like why america like and i think part of it is the melting pot aspect of it just like these waves of immigrants keep coming in and like oh we can make fun of a german person. Exactly what we're talking about then of an irish guy. Oh look there's the black guy you know what i mean he was. You know so it was like there was just. It was such a diverse populace especially in new york at the time. A lot of this sort of bubbles up and then i hate to talk about it but the minstrel show was huge part of this whole thing. So well it's funny that that that part of our country immigration was the biggest deal in the latter part of the nineteenth century and racial relations were at their nadir's. Let's say you know i mean. Plastic versus ferguson was eighteen nineties or something like that right right. Making fun of other groups was kind of at its height. That's what comedy really was. You know making fun of the outsider immigrant the outsider black person Appealing to the white. You know Nativist american that these people as outsiders ladder example then that kind of ethnic humor than the march brothers. You i write about that that if you really break down the three funny ones. I love that. I love you. Described it right. It's like it was i. That was a german character which later he sort of like after world war one sort of making fun of german sort of getting lusitania. They were like It's making more kinda yet. She than this is free nutsy to say. Yeah yeah yeah determines took a double hit so yeah so and then obviously harpo is an irish guy. You know that character. Even though he doesn't speak. Yeah you know that patsy brannigan and obviously chico is. You know straight up italian so those those are kinda the last of those that era of it but you can definitely see. They came out of the influences. Were huge to. Those are kind of dial dialect comedian. They were still around when we were kids. You myron cohen at all absolutely. Yeah yeah yeah so those guys were still kind of kind of doing it and yeah so and even in a way i feel like that Bill daynuss jose jimenez was dialect comedian. Like oh right and again kind of an outsider character. Exactly what you were talking about earlier. Crash helmet oh. I hope not.
