Boom Chicago Presents the 30 Most Important Years in Dutch History
An exciting history of the improv group you've never heard of that changed comedy in America—this is the story of Boom Chicago in Amsterdam as told by its founders and most famous alumni. "It’s kind of crazy, the impact on culture so many Boom Chicago alums have had. Boom was where I became my best comedic self: the excitement of Amsterdam, the freedom of that environment, the letting loose—it's magic. There's no better training ground." —Jordan Peele "Boom Chicago should have ended up on the scrap heap of 'Terrible Ideas Americans Have While Stoned in Amsterdam.' But when you stubbornly love one thing (comedy) as much as another thing (Amsterdam), you just believe they should be tog...
Fifty Key Improv Performers
Fifty Key Improv Performers highlights the history, development, and impact of improvisational theatre by highlighting not just key performers, but institutions, training centers, and movements to demonstrate the ways improv has shaped contemporary performance both onstage and onscreen. The book features the luminaries of improv, like Viola Spolin, Keith Johnstone, and Mick Napier, while also featuring many of the less well‐known figures in improvisation who have fundamentally changed the way we make and view comedy – people like Susan Messing, Jonathan Pitts, Robert Gravel, and Yvon Leduc. Due to improv’s highly collaborative nature, the book features many of the art form’s most important theatres and groups, such as The Second City, TJ & Dave, and Oui Be Negroes. While the book focuses on the development of improvisation in the United States, it features several entries about the development of improv around the globe. Students of Improvisational Theatre, History of Comedy, and Performance Studies, as well as practitioners of comedy, will benefit from the wide expanse of performers, groups, and institutions throughout the book.
Military Cutbacks and the Expanding Role of Education
These 10 papers were commissioned for a conference to discuss such questions as: If the military has to restructure its work force, how easily will it manage this transition? How well will the affected employees do in the labor market? and How will the defense industry and educational institutions respond to the need for transition? After an introduction (Nevzer Stacey), the following papers are provided: "Cutting Recruits: A Profile of the Newly Unqualified" (David Boesel); "Crew Cuts: Effects of the Defense Drawdown on Minorities" (Janice Laurence); "Impact of the Military Drawdown on Youth Employment, Training, and Educational Opportunity" (David Grissmer); "Educational Resources Availabl...

Boom Chicago. The 25 Most Important Years in Dutch History
Al honderden jaren vragen filosofen zich af of een omvallende boom ook geluid maakt als er niemand is om het te horen. Evenzo is het de vraag of een land echt bestaat als er geen satirische buitenstaanders naartoe zijn verhuisd om er grappen over te maken. Het antwoord: absoluut niet! De geschiedenis begint pas als Boom Chicago er is om er de draak mee te steken!0Speciaal voor dit boek koos Boom Chicago de 25 belangrijkste jaren van de Nederlandse geschiedenis. Een eenvoudige klus: Boom Chicago deed haar eerste Amsterdamse comedyshow in het voorjaar van 1993, dus dat is duidelijk wanneer de klok start. De Gouden Eeuw? De VOC? Willem van Oranje? De bezetting tijdens de Tweede Wereldoorlog? Thorbeckes grondwet? Dat was allemaal BBC, Before Boom Chicago.0Langs de vijftiende (en laatste?) Elfstedentocht, het eerste seizoen van Big Brother, de bruiloft van Willem-Alexander en Máxima en vele andere sleutelmomenten in de Nederlandse geschiedenis blikken (oud-)comedians van Boom Chicago terug op hun eerste 25 jaar in Nederland. Vol verwarring, verbazing en leedvermaak, maar vooral ook met veel humor en genegenheid.
Believe
From The New York Times's Jeremy Egner, the definitive book on Ted Lasso. When Ted Lasso first aired in 2020, nobody—including those who had worked on it—knew how a show inspired by an ad, centered around soccer, filled mostly with unknown actors, and led by a wondrously mustachioed “nice guy” would be received. Eleven Emmys and one Peabody Award later, it’s safe to say that the show’s status as a pop-culture phenomenon is secure. In Believe, entertainment journalist and Ted Lasso fan Jeremy Egner traces the show’s creation and legacy through the words of the people at its center. Drawing on dozens of interviews from key cast, creators, and more, Believe takes readers from the ...
Jordan Peele
Submitted for your approval: one comedian-turned-horror-film-director Jordan Peele. Peele performed on the comedy television shows MADtv and SNL before teaming up with fellow comedian Keegan-Michael Key to make their own sketch comedy program, Key & Peele. Yet, when Peele tried his hand at writing and directing, he switched genres from comedy to horror with the films Get Out and Us. Regardless of genre, Peele's works often aim to touch upon real-life social issues in an entertaining way. Jordan Peele examines the life, career, and inspirations of this talented comedian, screenwriter, and director.
