Laugh Lines: My Life Helping Funny People Be Funnier

Laugh Lines is a heartwarming cultural memoir of American comedy, tracing the history of four decades in the business through Alan Zweibel's tender and funny memoir.

From selling jokes for $7 each to the last of the Borscht Belt standups, to becoming one of the first writers at Saturday Night Live, where he penned classic material for Gilda Radner, John Belushi, and all of the original Not Ready for Prime Time Players.

This book weaves together Alan's own stories and interviews with his friends and contemporaries, including Richard Lewis, Eric Idle, Bob Saget, Mike Birbiglia, Sarah Silverman, Judd Apatow, Dave Barry, Carl Reiner, and more.

With a foreword from Billy Crystal, Laugh Lines is a must-read for anyone interested in the history of American comedy.
