Overview
\"Baggy Pants Comedy takes readers inside the burlesque houses of Depression-era America to explore the role of comedy in a show remembered mostly for strip-tease. It examines how burlesque comics, straightmen, and talking women approached the craft of comedy, working in a genre that relied not on scripts but on a remembered tradition of comedy bits that circulated orally. The book opens a long-neglected area of American folklore, presenting dozens of fondly-remembered routines like \"Who's On First\" and \"Niagara Falls (Slowly I Turned),\" as well as long-forgotten classics in print for the first time\"-- Provided by publisher.
