Book Synopsis Don't Applaud. Either Laugh Or Don't. (at the Comedy Cellar.) by : Andrew Hankinson

Book excerpt: What counts as funny, and who gets to decide? Explore the serious business of stand-up with Andrew Hankinson, author of cult classic You Could Do Something Amazing With Your Life [You Are Raoul Moat]. AMY SCHUMER. JERRY SEINFELD. CHRIS ROCK. SARAH SILVERMAN. And even Louis C.K. They all worked the Comedy Cellar in Greenwich Village, honing their acts, experimenting, taking risks. It was a place for rising stars and celebrities alike to test new work, due to the principles of its first owner, Manny Dworman, then his son Noam. The only threat to freedom of expression was a lack of laughs. But how did a New York taxi driver, born in Tel Aviv, create comedy's most important stage? How did he influence some of the biggest names in stand-up? What are the limits of a joke? Who decides? Andrew Hankinson speaks candidly with the Cellar's owner, comedians, and audience members, using interviews, emails, podcasts, letters, text messages, and previously private documents to create a conversation about the perils, pride, and prejudice of modern comedy. Moving backwards in time from Louis CK's downfall to when Manny used to host folk singers including Bob Dylan, this is about a comedy club, but it's also about the widening chasm in contemporary culture.
