Synopsis: Cash. Debauchery. Excess. Success! It’s no coincidence
that some of the most cutting edge comics of this generation came
out of the same city, at the same time. The Boston gold rush of the
late 70s and early 80s was considered by many as the flashpoint of
the biggest national stand-up explosion ever. A scene boiling over
with comedians possessed with that precarious blend of originality,
pure desire, and good old fashioned desperation.
Through a series of candid interviews, old news reports and never
before seen bootleg footage, we’ll get an unfiltered and hilarious
view of the people who came up here and what they did to survive,
emerge and where they are today.
Follow 20 year comedy veteran Fran Solomita as he takes a
revealing journey back to this extraordinary time. An escalation that
began with about 2 dozen comedy clubs scattered across the
country and at the peak, ballooned to over 450 full-time rooms
operating nationwide, spawning a gigantic new wave of comedians
that we know and love today.
Every book of "humorous quotations" features the same tired one-
liners from dead white males like Oscar Wilde and Mark Twain—
until now. The Comedy Thesaurus features more than three
thousand quips from the funniest people on the planet—everyone
from Margaret Cho and Conan O'Brien to Eddie Murphy and Lewis
Black. Arranged A to Z by subject (accidents, aging, alcohol, etc.)
and thoroughly cross-referenced, it's chock-full of hilarious
observations.
On politics: "You have to remember one thing about the will of the
people: It wasn't that long ago that we were swept away by the
Macarena."—Jon Stewart
On shopping: "Every town has the same two malls: the one white
people go to, and the one white people used to go to."—Chris Rock
And that's just the beginning. Full of laugh-out-loud remarks from the most popular comedians
on the planet, The Comedy Thesaurus is a terrific resource for writers, speakers, fans of
stand-up comedy, and anyone who appreciates a good joke.
