Modest Proposal Anthology: Interviews with Top Comedians Right Before Comedy Went Viral & Other Stuff
Like a comedic time capsule buried in an era before the emergence of YouTube, Twitter, Facebook, podcasts, and Netflix Comedy Specials, Modest Proposal Anthology captures stand up comedy the way it was...before a well-timed tweet could take a joke viral.
More than eighteen years in the making, the book reads like one part Judd Apatow’s Sick in the Conversations About Life and Comedy , one part McSweeney’s collection, and one part Mad magazine,
Modest Proposal Anthology is essential reading for any comedy geek, pop culture fanatic, and humor aficionado. And unless you‘re one of the few hundred comedy geeks who subscribed to the print magazine in 2003, you won’t find this material anywhere else.
