Kliph Nesteroff, comedy historian and calssic showbiz expert (his Twitter handle speaks for itself: @ClassicShowbiz) just wrote a book called The Comedians: Drunks, Thieves, Scoundrels and the Hundred Year History of American Comedy. The book is a must read for all comedians and fans of comedy. It takes you through early vaudeville, the rise of the standup, the first late night talk shows, the comedy boom and podcasts. Order it right after you listen to this episode. 

Also: Don't forget to subscribe to Occasionally Awesome on iTunes and rate and review the show. Every little bit helps. Thanks and see you next week!

Join these two L.A natives as they interview their comedian, actor, artist and degenerate friends in search of the parts of life that are occasionally awesome. Also they talk about jeans and Radiohead a lot.
