Standup: its the ultimate solo art form. Yet, behind the scenes, you will increasingly find the shadowy figure of a director. For comics themselves and for those who support them, this is the first book to give the directors perspective on creating and performing standup comedy. Drawing on his own experience of directing standup alongside speaking to comedians and their directors, Chris Head produces a revealing perspective on the creative process, comic persona, writing standup, structuring material and delivering a performance. Directors interviewed include Logan Murray, John Gordillo and Simon McBurney, who between them have directed Eddie Izzard, Michael McIntyre, Milton Jones, Lenny Henry and French & Saunders. With a foreword by BBC arts editor Will Gompertz and contributions from many other interviewees including Oliver Double (author of Getting the Joke), this is the only book that goes all the way from oneliners to theatre via comedy club sets and fulllength shows. Perfect for standups from newbies to pros, students of comedy, academics studying and teaching standup and for directors themselves, A Directors Guide to the Art of Standup offers hundreds of inspiring practical insights and shows how creating the comedians highly personal, individual act can be a deeply collaborative process.
