Reviews

‘Deploying autoethnography, adroit historical contextualisation, and balanced thick description, Ray Campbell has written an excellent study of alt space performance, including alternative cabaret, alternative comedy, and New Variety. His work foregrounds racism, social class, and difference and, in doing so, he expertly fills a gap in comedy studies, producing a much-needed cultural genealogy that underlies today’s comedy industry.’ Stephen Hamrick, European Journal of Humour Research
