A Vulgar Art: A New Approach to Stand-Up Comedy by Ian Brodie
Requirements: PDF Reader, 2.5MB
Overview: The first examination of stand-up comedy through the lens of folklore.
In A Vulgar Art Ian Brodie uses a folkloristic approach to stand-up comedy, engaging the discipline’s central method of studying interpersonal, artistic communication and performance.
Because stand-up comedy is a rather broad category, people who study it often begin by relating it to something they recognize– “literature” or “theatre”; “editorial” or “morality”–and analyze it accordingly.
A Vulgar Art begins with a more fundamental observation: someone is standing in front of a group of people, talking to them directly, and trying to make them laugh. So this book takes the moment of performance as its focus, that stand-up comedy is a collaborative act between the comedian and the audience.
