Synopsis

This star-studded tribute to the legendary comics of our time gathers together the kings and queens of comedy's golden age - including the likes of Steve Martin, Carl Reiner and Cloris Leachman - alongside today's biggest names, like Tina Fey, Steve Carrell and Ricky Gervais. These comedic icons and many more are captured in zany-yet-deadpan portraits that hilariously capture their comic personas and speak their minds in first person reflections on life and laughter. Page after page of hilarious insights and stunning coffee-table-worthy photography, plus a foreword by none other than the legendary Mel Brooks, make this incredible collection a joy for anyone who loves to laugh.
