Description

Please note: This is a companion version & not the original book.
Sample Book Insights:
#1 I was a comedy writer for my college radio show. I was wondering how I would get into show business, since it seemed impossible. I didn’t know how you enter show business, but I was sure it wasn’t through college.
#2 I wanted to be a comedian, and I spent my time talking to comedy legends and asking them how they got into comedy. I was told that John Belushi, Joe Flaherty, Bill Murray, and Dan Aykroyd all got into Second City theater by saying Give me a chance and being given the chance.
#3 I was in love with all things sketch comedy, and I was looking for a way into that world. I interviewed Del Close, a guru of sketch comedy performers, and he changed the course of my thinking and even my life.
#4 Del Close was a comedy legend who had been involved in nearly every edgy comedy scene over the past thirty years. He was also in dire straits: he had been out of work for a while, and his apartment was cluttered with books, pulverized furniture, and rampant ashtrays.

#1

I was a comedy writer for my college radio show. I was wondering how I would get into show business, since it seemed impossible. I didn’t know how you enter show business, but I was sure it wasn’t through college.

#2

I wanted to be a comedian, and I spent my time talking to comedy legends and asking them how they got into comedy. I was told that John Belushi, Joe Flaherty, Bill Murray, and Dan Aykroyd all got into Second City theater by saying Give me a chance and being given the chance.

#3

I was in love with all things sketch comedy, and I was looking for a way into that world. I interviewed Del Close, a guru of sketch comedy performers, and he changed the course of my thinking and even my life.

#4

Del Close was a comedy legend who had been involved in nearly every edgy comedy scene over the past thirty years. He was also in dire straits: he had been out of work for a while, and his apartment was cluttered with books, pulverized furniture, and rampant ashtrays.

#5

I met a man named Del who was a witch. He was old, and had a lot of wild ideas. But he was also full of new chapters, surprising moments, and now here he was, an abject wreck, but still in love with the possibility of something amazing happening tonight or next week.

#6

Del’s journey to icon status as a trailblazing improv guru was just beginning, but he would inspire many, many others in the years to come. He did a lot of good in the end.
Insights from Chapter 2



#1

I inherited my father’s thermonuclear emotional latitude, which can be useful in acting. But it can be unnerving in real life, as it is often unintentional and doesn’t reflect my actual state of mind.

#2

I had a very close relationship with my mother, and she was always there to help me through whatever I was going through. She was a saint, and she was the rock that I needed. I was always a reader, and I would overhear my dad’s tattle tales and just append them to the book that I was reading.

#3

I had a very unspecial suburban upbringing. I relied on my brothers and sisters for entertainment, and we laughed together a lot. I was the headliner at the dinner table when Dad wasn’t home.

#4

Monty Python was the hip-hop that saved my life. Every Sunday night on Channel 11, the PBS station in Chicago, Monty Python episodes were shown, and the firmament cracked wide open. It was comedy with a kick, and it never winked or suggested that We’re all in on it.

#5

In the early 1970s, popular comedy was weak. I will never forgive my dad for liking Hee Haw, but in his defense, he spent part of his childhood in the Deep South and had a bit of bumpkin in him.

#6

I had saved up my allowance and money from mowing lawns to buy a Panasonic cassette recorder, and began recording comedy bits with my brother Bill. I loved listening to the pieces back, making them more of a performance.

#7

I first heard Albert Brooks on a radio show called Steve Dahl. He was smarter, dryer, and more adventurous with comedy than anyone else. Steve Martin came close. I used to ride my bike through the quiet, peaceful streets of Naperville, Illinois, past the abandoned Nike missile site, and lock it up outside the Jewel-Osco grocery store.

#8

I was a good student, even when I was goofing around. My brothers and sisters and mother kept things together at home, but with that wonderful, nerve-racking backdrop never leaving me, I gorged myself on comedy.

#9

I was 14 when I went to see the Second City revue with a friend. It was a Dog Day Afternoon kind of place, and I loved it. The show made me happy, but more than that, the experience felt like a glimpse behind the curtain of adulthood. People letting off steam.

#10

I was 16 when I went to college, and I was extremely aware of the age and maturity gap between me and the other young people heading to higher education. I chose a local college to contemplate existence and put a few credits under my belt.
