Herlarious
Celebrating Women in Comedy
Sinopsis
It is a common misconception that comedy has always been a mans game, but the female voice has been strong in laughter for centuries. From the pioneering British filmmakers and music hall artistes, through to variety entrepreneurs and scriptwriters, and onto the controlling production powerhouses of the television era, women have called the shots and got the world laughing.
Herlarious is a tribute to these women, saluting their works and achievements against a backdrop of social history and social change; and examining just what obstacles and pitfalls they overcame in order to have their comic genius presented.
The book, written by Gemma Ross, co-author of the bestselling The Carry On Girls, is an affectionate, fascinating, and above all hilarious volume.
