"I did stand-up comedy for 18 years. Ten of those years were spent learning, four years were spent refining, and four years were spent in wild success. I was seeking comic originality, and fame fell on me as a byproduct. The course was more plodding than heroic." Steve Martin.
This guide will introduce you to resources to help you research comedy. If you have questions or need research help, please just ASK! You can either contact me or the general Reference Desk.
