| Abstract | "Health and Inequality in Standup Comedy is a fascinating study that interviews comedians to uncover the truth about stigma resistance. With compelling evidence, the book argues that it's not comedians' ability to be funny that determines their success, but rather the level of prejudice in society"-- Provided by publisher. |
