{"product_id":"off-the-mic-deborah-frances-white-9781472526380","title":"Off the Mic: The World's Best Stand-Up Comedians Get Serious About Comedy","description":"What is it to be a stand-up comedian? To be funny, solo? You have no character-role, no double-act partner, and nowhere to look but out into the darkness, with just a microphone, an audience and your imagination. \u003cbr\u003eThis is a job without an annual appraisal; a job where you are publicly appraised every ten seconds. The results are harsh and obvious: if the audience isn't laughing, you 'died'; if they can't stop, you 'killed'. \u003cbr\u003eDeborah Frances-White and Marsha Shandur unpack the inner-workings of the minds of comics, sharing their secrets, insecurities and successes; their b黎es noires and their biggest fears. Featuring interviews with a host of comedians including Eddie Izzard, Moshe Kasher, Sarah Millican, Jim Jeffries, Stewart Lee, Lewis Black, Jenny Eclair, Todd Barry, Richard Herring, Marc Maron, Stephen K Amos, Rich Hall, Zoe Lyons, Marcus Brigstocke, Phill Jupitus, Gary Delaney, Mark Watson, Greg Davies and many more, this excellent book lets you in to the hearts and minds of celebrated comedians, away from the stage and off the mic.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Deborah Frances-White, Marsha Shandur\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1472526384\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781472526380\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Bloomsbury Publishing PLC\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 10\/08\/2015\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 304\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.95lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.40h x 5.40w x 0.80d","brand":"Deborah Frances-White","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44616641937663,"sku":"9781472526380","price":35.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_c49a2b41-59da-4569-972f-0d35c8c392ef.jpg?v=1703021483","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/off-the-mic-deborah-frances-white-9781472526380","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
