Hardback. SLAPSTICK COMEDY, knockabout comedy, the comedy of action: comics who make their living by falling down, not standing up.The traditions go backa long way for, as one Victorian commentator noted: 'The invaluable peculiarity of pantomime wit is that it weakens not by repeating. a pun tells onlyonce, but it is not so with apoke in the eye.Slapstick! is the firstbook to draw togetherall the different strands of knockabout comedy and set them in a historical context. With the aid of a splendid array of illustrations, the highly entertaining text traces the roots and ramifications of visual comedy from its beginnings in primitive ritual, religious ceremonial, and court entertainment; through the melting-pot of the Italian Commedia dell' Arte; to music-hall, vaudeville, circus, film, radio, television and video.Tony Staveacre first chronicles the main events in twothousand years of slapstick: the rise and painful fall of the'top bananas, the shifting trends, the changing styles. He then examines in detail the living tradition in its different guises — the physical, the acrobatic, the shambolic, the eccentric, the salacious. He shows the slapstick baton passing from hand to hand: Harlequin, Pantaloon, John Rich, Grimaldi, Dan Leno, Fred Karno, Little Tich, Harry Tate, Charlie Chaplin, Grock, Jacques Tati, Stan Laurel, Oliver Hardy, the Crazy Gang, the Marx Brothers, Max Wall, Charlie Drake, the Goons (how did they get in here?), Peter Cook, John Cleese, Benny Hill,Woody Allen, Richard Pryor .Quick, send in the clowns.Don't bother —they're here. 1987, First edition.

The d/w is unclipped and very good with light shelf wear. {"length" => ["26"], "width" => ["19"], "units" => ["Centimeters"]}.…
