Description: The Marx Brothers Miscellany - A Subjective Appreciation of the World's Greatest Comedy Team (hardback) by Trav Trav S.D., Austin Pendleton Estimated delivery 3-12 business days Format Hardcover Condition Brand New Description Fun and frolic on all topics Marx Brothers. Publisher Description The Marx Brothers are widely regarded as the 20th centurys greatest comedy team, a tight knit performing unit who reached their fans through a dozen films, three Broadway shows, a radio program, and a top-flight vaudeville act, as well the brothers own separate accomplishments as book authors, recording artists, television personalities, and entrepreneurs. Yet while its tempting to think so, the worlds most popular comedy act didnt emerge in a vacuum. Grouchos brand of verbal nonsense humor, Harpos silent clowning, and Chicos "Italian" shtick were all highly popular and familiar vaudeville specialties in their day. What made the Marx Brothers original was that they packed it all into the same explosive, anarchistic act. And they were so funny, of course. Writer/ performer Trav S.D. (No Applause, Just Throw Money: The Book That Made Vaudeville Famous) now turns his attention to the greatest of all stage and screen comedy teams in The Marx Brothers Miscellany. Adapted from a series of public lectures and over 150 articles originally published on the popular website Travalanche, The Marx Brothers Miscellany mimics its unruly subject with an irreverent style and crazy-quilt structure combining cultural history, biography, criticism, and more than a few surprises. A one of a kind ex-TRAV-aganza, The Marx Brothers Miscellany also features art by Noah Diamond and a foreword by Austin Pendleton (Skidoo, Whats Up Doc? Finding Nemo). Bette Midler called No Applause "the best book about the people who worked in vaudeville" in People magazine. Trav S.D.s other books have included Chain of Fools: Silent Comedy and Its Legacies from Nickelodeons to Youtube (2013) and Roses Royal Midgets and Other Little People of Vaudeville (2020).
