Sinopsis

"Stand Up Legends" explores the lives and careers of iconic comedians, examining how they shaped the landscape of comedy and influenced broader cultural trends. The book delves into what elevates a comedian to legendary status, considering the crucial interplay of talent, timing, and cultural context. It argues that these influential figures didn't just reflect society; they actively shaped public discourse through their humor and performance art.

 
The book uniquely blends biography, performance analysis, and historical context to provide a nuanced assessment of each comedian. For example, many comedy legends challenged social and political norms, pushing the boundaries of what was considered acceptable, thereby transforming stand-up into a powerful form of social commentary.

 
"Stand Up Legends" progresses by first establishing the criteria for comedy legends, then profiling selected comedians to dissect their techniques, and finally evaluating their enduring influence. Through detailed analyses of performances, historical recordings, and critical reviews, readers gain insights into the creative processes and legacies of these influential figures. The book also touches upon sociology, media studies, and performance theory, providing a comprehensive analysis of the art form and demonstrating how comedy acts as a mirror reflecting societal anxieties.

    'Outstanding' - The Guardian 'Judith Mackrell has done an incredible job in bringing to life the stories of these two great artists' - Anthony D’Offay'This is a must read . . . a deeply moving account of a family bursting with talent' - Anne SebbaIn Artists, Siblings, Visionaries, acclaimed biographer Judith Mackrell turns her attention to British brother and sister artists Gwen and Augustus John.In many ways they were polar opposites. Augustus was the larger of the two; vivid, volatile and promiscuous, he was a hero among romantics and bohemians, celebrated as one of the great British talents of his generation.As a woman, Gwen's place in the art world was much smaller, and her private way of working and reserved nature meant it was only long after her death that her tremendous gifts were fully acknowledged. But her temperament was as turbulent as her brother's. She formed passionate attachments to men and woman, including a long affair with the sculptor Rodin.And there were other ways in which the two Johns were remarkably alike, as Mackrell vividly reveals. The result is a powerful portrait of two prodigiously talented artists and visionaries, whose experiments with form and colour created some of the most memorable work of the early twentieth century.

    The Actor's Mindset: Acting as a Craft, Discipline, and Business uniquely prepares actors to live full, successful lives as performing artists. While most acting books focus on either the art or the business of entertainment, Archibald looks at the entire picture of what it means to be an actor, focusing on the foundations of both the artist and the entrepreneur to guarantee a complete and fully functioning approach to a career. 
     
     
     
    The Actor's Mindset is divided into three distinct parts: "The Craft," "The Discipline," and "The Business." 
     
     
     
    Archibald's unique experience as both an actor and a coach gives him an unparalleled perspective on the current industry landscape. While classic method texts still circulate, and there are actors who have written books that address craft, none have Archibald's depth of knowledge and experience in coaching, nor approach the art from a professional standpoint instead of solely an instructional one. The success of Craig's approach is exemplified by the success of his clients, a roster that includes Constance Wu, John Slattery, and two-time Academy Award nominee Dan Futterman.
