À propos de ce produit

Product Information

In the midseventies, Steve Martin exploded onto the comedy scene. By 1978 he was the biggest concert draw in the history of stand-up. In 1981 he quit forever. This book is, in his own words, the story of "why I did stand-up and why I walked away." Emmy and Grammy Award winner, author of the acclaimed "New York Times" bestsellers "Shopgirl" and "The Pleasure of My Compan"y, and a regular contributor to "The New Yorker," Martin has always been awriter. His memoir of his years in stand-up is candid, spectacularly amusing, and beautifully written. At age ten Martin started his career at Disneyland, selling guidebooks in the newly opened theme park. In the decade that followed, he worked in the Disney magic shop and the Bird Cage Theatre at Knott's Berry Farm, performing his first magic/comedy act a dozen times a week. The story of these years, during which he practiced and honed his craft, is moving and revelatory. The dedication to excellence and innovation is formed at an astonishingly early age and never wavers or wanes. Martin illuminates the sacrifice, discipline, and originality that made him an icon and informs his work to this day. To be this good, to perform so frequently, was isolating and lonely. It took Martin decades to reconnect with his parents and sister, and he tells that story with great tenderness. Martin also paints a portrait of his times -- the era of free love and protests against the war in Vietnam, the heady irreverence of "The Smothers Brothers Comedy Hour" in the late sixties, and the transformative new voice of "Saturday Night Live" in the seventies. Throughout the text, Martin has placed photographs, many never seen before. "Born Standing Up" is asuperb testament to the sheer tenacity, focus, and daring of one of the greatest and most iconoclastic comedians of all time.

Martin's life as a Stand Up comedian
I really liked Steve Martin when he was a straight up stage comedian. I got many hours of enjoyment over his comedy records and would go out of my way to look for his next television appearances. This book, in Martin's words, gives the reader insight into his early career, including the downside of "bombing" on stage as well as the kinda money he made during those days at nightclubs early in his career. Its written very well and also has some of the familiar Martin charm in the writing. If your expecting a "Tell All" or a Finger-pointing book or even a laugh out loud autobiography, you wont get that here. What you'll get is a nice read into the early life of one of the best stand up comedians of all time.I really liked Steve Martin when he was a straight up stage comedian.

EMMY WINNER FOR HIS TELEVISION WRITING THREE TIME GRAMMY-WINNER HE HAS WRITTEN SEVERAL PLAYS, A COLLECTION OF COMIC PIECES, AND NOVELS. HIS WORK FREQUENTLY APPEARS IN THE NEW YORKER AND THE NEW YORK TIMES 2007 KENNEDY CENTER HONOREE "I continued to appear on The Tonight Show, always with a guest host, doing material that I was developing on the road. Then I got a surprise note from Bob Shayne: ‘We had a meeting with Johnny yesterday, told him that you had been a smash twice with guest hosts, and he agrees that you should be back on with him. So I think that hurdle is over.’ In September 1974, I was booked on the show with Johnny. This was welcome news… Johnny was the comedian’s friend. He waited; he gave you your timing. He lay back and stepped in like Ali, not to knock you out but to set you up. He struggled with you, too, and sometimes saved you… For my first show back, I chose to do a bit I had developed years earlier at the Ice House. I speed-talked a Vegas nightclub act in two minutes. Appearing on the show was Sammy Davis, Jr., who, while still performing energetically, had also become a historic showbiz figure. I was whizzing along, singing a four second version of “Ebb Tide”, then at lightning fast speed, ‘Frank Sinatra, personal friend of mine, Sammy Davis Jr., personal friend of mine, Steve Martin I’m a personal friend of mine too and now a little dancin’!’ I started a wild flail, which I must say was pretty funny, when a showbiz miracle occurred. The camera cut away to a dimly lit Johnny, precisely as he whirled up from his chair, doubling over with laughter. Suddenly, subliminally, I was endorsed. At the end of the act, Sammy came over and hugged me. I felt like I hadn’t been hugged since I was born. This was my sixteenth appearance on the show, and the first one I could really call a smash. The next day, elated by my success, I walked into an antique store on La Brea. The woman behind the counter looked at me. “Are you the boy that was on The Tonight Show last night?” “Yes”, I said. “Yuck!” she blurted out.” (Pp.150-154). Comedy is not easy. If you are the funny guy in your family or in your classroom, or in your school you know what I mean. There are those moments when the laugher ceases, and you hear silence, followed by a hot flash, a tightening around the collar and the realization that you have just gone from what is funny to that which is absurdly not funny, and your audience expected much better. It happens to all funny guys. It is that fear that scares them; it is the motivation that drives them. The quest is to avoid the moments of dead air, and kill the audience for putting them up against this tension. Steve Martin has given us a genuine comedian’s book. It is not designed to be funny or to give you a rehash of all of his old jokes; instead it is about the process. This book is about the 15 year journey he takes in going from a not-so-listened to comedian to man who re-invented stand up comedy and changed audiences all over

Like a Sugar Cookie
I watched Steve Martin's career as a fascinated fan, so I was very eager to get Born Standing Up. The book is an easy, interesting read, but I found myself a bit less than satisfied. Martin walks the reader thru major influences in his life, but the level of sharing is less than intimate. I would have enjoyed more detail and more anecdotal information. There's enough here for the reader to enjoy the experience but not enough to be completely satisfying. It's like a sugar cookie: happy enough to have had it, wouldn't have much mattered if I had not. Borrow one if you can--the book, not the cookie.I watched Steve Martin's career as a fascinated fan, so I was very eager to get Born Standing Up.

Good book. fast read..would like more Steve Now
I really enjoyed this book. I remember being at the Coliseum in Richland OH (he wrote about that show) and just loving his stand up and humor. It was interesting hearing about his early years but wished he would have gotten into more of his life now also. A little more insight into what he is up to now. I know he doesn't owe me but I would have liked a few more chapters about his life now and adventures.... I loved the book though. I read all his books.I really enjoyed this book.
