Vividly bringing to light the tradition of physical comedy in the French cabaret, cafconcert, and early French film comedy, this book answers the perplexing question, Why do the French love Jerry Lewis? The extraordinary emphasis on nervous pathology in the Parisian cafconcert, where the genres of the Epileptic Singer and the Idiot Comic took center stage, and where popular comic monologues and songs included Man with a Tic and Im Neurasthenic, points to a fascinating intersection between medicine and popular culture. The French tradition of comic performance style between 1870 and 1910 nearly exactly duplicates the movements, gestures, tics, grimaces, and speech anomalies found in nineteenthcentury hysteria; the characteristics of hysteria became a new aesthetics.
