If you like comedy, have we got a book for you. It’s called “Comedy Book.” And it’s by Jesse David Fox. Actually, the full title is “Comedy Book: How Comedy Conquered Culture — And the Magic that Makes it Work,” and it is at its heart an argument that comedy is an art form. And as an art form, it should be studied just as seriously as any other art form out there. It’s an explicit love letter to comedy and a history of the modern era of comedy of the past 30 years or so. It is also a philosophical probe into what this “comedy” thing is anyway. If you like stuff that has made you laugh on purpose, and you care about the context in which it got made, you might want to read this book. But first listen to this interview with Jesse.
