Standing up, breaking rules. 330 $aIn recent decades, some of the most celebrated and culturally influential American oratorical performances have come not from leaders or religious visionaries, but from stand-up comics. Even though comedy and satire have been addressed by rhetorical scholarship in recent decades, little has been paid to the stand-up. This collection is an attempt to further cultivate the growing conversation about stand-up comedy from the perspective of the rhetorical tradition. It brings together literatures from rhetorical, cultural, and humor studies to provide a unique exploration of stand-up comedy that both argues on behalf of the form s capacity for social change and attempts to draw attention to a series of otherwise unrecognized rhetors who have made significant contributions to public culture through comedy." 606 $aStand-up comedy$zUnited States 606 $aComedy$xHistory and criticism 606 $aEnglish language$zUnited States$xRhetoric 615 0$aStand-up comedy 615 0$aComedy$xHistory and criticism. 615 0$aEnglish language$xRhetoric. 676 $a792.76 701 $aMeier$b Matthew R$0929953 701 $aSchmitt$b Casey R$0929954 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910136136103321 996 $aStanding up, speaking out$92091150 997 $aUNINA
