Focuses on the ways in which the comic persona is constructed and changes across media, from stand-up, to the small screen, to film. This title examines the comic televisual and cinematic personae of Dick Gregory, Bill Cosby, Flip Wilson, and Richard Pryor and considers how these figures set the stage for black comedy.
