Scripts Series 7-9

Inside No. 9: The Scripts Series 7-9

signed hardback collector's edition

Python, actor, director, popular historian, reluctant national treasure, purveyor of sincere silliness - this is the story of the one and only Terry Jones. In an intimate portrait penned by the close friend Terry chose to write his memoir, Seriously Silly is the story of one our greatest comedy legends. Taking in his major successes as well as his personal battles, it is the whole story, from his start as a war baby in the picturesque coastal town of Colwyn Bay, to meeting his lifelong friend Michael Palin at Oxford and the journey that took him on a convoluted pathway through revue sketches, anarchic children's shows, Monty Python, TV presenting and beyond. It reveals the debates and creative genius of the Pythons, as well as Terry's extraordinary determination and resilience - especially in his final years as he battled with the dementia. Written by his close friend and with the blessing and cooperation of his family and the peers who knew him best, Seriously Silly is the definitive celebration of a true pioneer of comedy, as well a personal and loving portrait of the man behind the laughter.

Oh, Biscuits!: The Little (Grown-Up) Guide to Bluey

Performing Aged Femininities

Women and Age on the UK Stage

This book sets out a fresh approach to stand-up comedy. By constructing a theoretical framework using laughter theory, phenomenology and contemporary performance theory, it provides not only a new analytical tool for this genre of performance, but also a means by which it can be understood, discussed and taught. Tim Miles combines empirical research into the 'lived experience' of live stand-up with a strong theoretical model, to explore the importance of performance expectations; perceptions of space; sensory perceptions; liveness; the lived experience; inter-subjectivity; memory; interactions; collectively; and perceptions of truth and trust.

Stand-Up Comedy

The Art of the Terrible Joke

So Bad It’s Good

This biography explores the career and legacy of one of the world's greatest entertainers, from humble beginnings to superstar success. Vocalist and music historian Matthew Long sheds light on the enduring popularity of the Italian-American legend. In a career spanning 65 years, Como perfected a style and approach to popular music that was timeless and cross-generational in its appeal. This book provides fresh insights into the life of a man whose relaxed on-screen persona belied his strong work ethic and high standards both personally and professionally. Beginning with Como's roots in Canonsburg, Pennsylvania, when the barber business represented the height of his professional aims, the book moves on to his highly rewarding apprenticeship as a band singer in the 1930s and early 40s. Through the belief and insistence of his wife, Perry would soon emerge into the world of international superstardom, and yet, he remained humble throughout his entire career. Como's prolific achievements on record and his pioneering contributions to the television medium are discussed in detail. The book provides recommended listening from each era plus a supplementary, extensive curated song index covering Perry's career in records and many highlights from his legendary performances on radio, television, in concert, and at the movies. This book is the ultimate companion for anyone who appreciates the wonderful, beautifully-sung songs that represent the very best of Perry Como - commercially, technically and artistically.

Magic Moments

Larry David and the Unlikely Rise of a Bald, Bespectacled Social Assassin

Emperor of Nothing

The facsimile typewritten and annotated script of the 1981 cult classic, together with the shocking never-before-published screenplay that Hollywood refused to makeThe 1981 film Possession, directed by Polish filmmaker Andrzej Zulawski (1940-2016), is a no-holds-barred portrait of a disintegrating marriage. Featuring impassioned performances by Isabelle Adjani and Sam Neill, the film starts as a psychodrama, develops quickly into a queasy supernatural horror film and ends up exploding all known genres. A work of rampant and sustained power, its visual daring is equaled by its rich imagination and deep spiritual conviction: a film for the bold and adventurous. Published for the first time as a facsimile of the typed script, Possession includes handwritten annotations and edits by screenwriters Zulawski and Frederic Tuten (born 1936). This typescript offers amazing insight into the creation of the cult film and is a fascinating document of collaboration between two outstanding artists. As an added bonus, this publication also includes Zulawski and Tuten's mysterious, never-before-published script for The Invisibles--a story that, though never filmed, is even darker and more complex than Possession.

Possession: The Screenplay

NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLERNAMED A 2024 BOOK OF THE YEAR BY VULTURE AND BOOKLISTAN AUDIE AWARD FINALIST“Paul Scheer delivers a deeply funny, personal and moving account of how joy and pain are the perfect ingredients for a happy and funny life.”—Amy Poehler"It's a hilarious essay collection about trauma. Yes, really."—People MagazineFrom award-winning actor and comedian Paul Scheer, a candid and hilarious memoir-in-essays on coming to terms with childhood trauma and finding the joy in embracing your authentic self.Paul Scheer has entertained countless fans and podcast listeners with stories about the odd, wild, and absurd details of his life. Yet these tales have pointed to deeper, more difficult truths that the actor and comedian has kept to himself. Now, he is finally ready to share those truths for the first time—but, of course, with a healthy dose of humor.Blending the confident, affable voice that has won him a dedicated following with a refreshing level of candor,&nbsp;Joyful Recollections of Trauma&nbsp;chronicles Paul’s often shocking, admittedly tumultuous childhood and how the experiences of his youth have reverberated throughout his life. In his comedy, Paul has always been unafraid to “go there,” to play naïve, cringeworthy characters, imbuing them with disarming charm and humanity. That daring openness is on display in the pages of this memoir, but in true Paul fashion, it is also surprising, eye-opening, and side-splitting.In this madcap journey through the inner working of his mind and creative process, Paul Scheer demonstrates once again that the truth is often stranger—and funnier—than fiction.&nbsp;Joyful Recollections of Trauma&nbsp;offers a unique perspective on universal themes: growing up, working through a challenging childhood, staying true to yourself, and finding success, fulfillment, and happiness in often strange and difficult circumstances. Throughout, Paul shares both the hard-fought lessons and the laughter that can be found in the darkest parts of life, and reminds us that what matters is not what you’ve been through but who you are becoming. If you loved recent memoirs by Molly Shannon, Maria Bamford, RuPaul, and Jennette McCurdy—or any book that moves you to both laughter and tears—Joyful Recollections of Trauma&nbsp;is the perfect read for you.
