Book Reviews of The Second City: Backstage at the World's Greatest Comedy Theater (book with 2 audio CDs)
Book Review: I put up a bunch of reviews there
Summary: 1 Stars
Sheldon's portion is great. It's an interesting background on a philosophy. The rest is the most masturbatorial text you'll ever read -- and it praises the tragically mediocre. I worked there over the course of the two managements. It's horrible now. Of course, nobody asked me or fellow cast members who could actually make me laugh.
