"A winning collection for any fan of comedy's last
half-century."--Publishers Weekly
"His top-notch lineup of comedian . . . upholds a bedrock law of
improv: never try to be funny. Much of the humor here emerges
naturally, as it should. Thomas carves his interviews into
snippets, grouping them by topic; when things gel, it's like
listening to these people swap stories on grungy backstage
couches." --Lynn Harris, New York Times
"Mike Thomas . . . does a wonderful job with an impossible task:
capturing that lightning-in-a-bottle quality of SecondCity, from
its humble origins to its current status as a comedy
institution."--Julia Keller, Chicago Tribune
