Description

Granted extraordinary access, photographer Matt Hoyle has captured his subjects in portraits that are works of art in themselves by turns zany and deadpan, laugh-out-loud and contemplative. Accompanying them are first-person reflections from each of the comedians on life and laughter that always cut straight to the heart of comedy: it s funny because it s true. Page after side-splitting page in COMIC GENIUS: PORTRAITS OF FUNNY PEOPLE offers prose as engaging as each portrait is memorable. Here, in one handsome package, is the gift of laughter itself.
