{"product_id":"funny-as-paul-horan-9781869409005","title":"Funny as: The Story of New Zealand Comedy","description":"A big, authoritative, hilarious illustrated account of New Zealand's funniest comedians. From the Kiwi Concert Party to The Topp Twins, Billy T. James to Rose Matafeo, Fred Dagg to Flight of the Conchords and Taika Waititi, New Zealanders have made each other laugh in ways distinctive to these islands. Funny As tells the story of comedy in this country through more than 300 pictures and an engaging text based on over 100 interviews with our best comedians. Published alongside a major TVNZ documentary series at a time when comedy has never been bigger, the book takes us inside the comedy clubs, cabarets and television studios where comedians work; it charts the rise of cartoons and skits, parody and stand-up; it introduces us to how New Zealand's funniest men and women have made sense (and nonsense) out of this country's changing culture and society. Funny As is the authoritative, hilarious story of New Zealand comedy.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Paul Horan,Philip Matthews\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1869409000\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781869409005\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Auckland University Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 12\/19\/2019\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 336\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 2.35lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.70h x 7.90w x 1.10d","brand":"Paul Horan","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":48088935170303,"sku":"9781869409005","price":49.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_86a209aa-7dad-4072-80b1-8d4bcc71e184.jpg?v=1769107366","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/funny-as-paul-horan-9781869409005","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
