Stand-up: it's the ultimate solo art form. For comics themselves and for those who support them, this is the first book to give the director's perspective on creating and performing stand-up comedy. Yet, behind the scenes, you will increasingly find the shadowy figure of a director.
With a foreword by BBC arts editor Will Gompertz and contributions from many other interviewees including Oliver Double (author of Getting the Joke), Drawing on his own experience of directing stand-up alongside speaking to comedians and their directors, Chris Head produces a revealing perspective on the creative process, comic persona, writing stand-up, structuring material and delivering a performance.Directors interviewed include Logan Murray, John Gordillo and Simon McBurney, who between them have directed Eddie Izzard, Michael McIntyre, Milton Jones, Lenny Henry and French & Saunders.
