“A comprehensive examination of the ways in which [the series] uses American cultural memory . . . to shape . . . characters’ developments and the narrative arc.” —Journal of American Culture From the opening credits that feature a silhouette falling among skyscrapers, Mad Men transcended its role as a series about the Madison Avenue advertising industry to become a modern classic. For seven seasons, Mad Men asked viewers to contemplate the 1960s anew, reassessing the era’s stance on women’s rights, race, war, politics, and family relationships that comprise the American Dream. Set in the mid-twentieth century, the show brought to light how deeply we still are connected to that age. The result is a show that continually asks us to rethink our own families, lives, work, and ethical beliefs as we strive for a better world.In Mad Men: A Cultural History, M. Keith Booker and Bob Batchelor offer an engaging analysis of the series, providing in-depth examinations of its many themes and nostalgic portrayals of the years from Camelot to Vietnam and beyond. Highly regarded cultural scholars and critics, Booker and Batchelor examine the show in its entirety, presenting readers with a deep but accessible exploration of the series, as well as look at its larger meanings and implications. This cultural history perspective reveals Mad Men’s critical importance as a TV series, as well as its role as a tool for helping viewers understand how they are shaped by history and culture. “This homage will appeal to fans and academic readers alike. . . . Recommended.” —Choice “Offers a stimulating point of view on the role of mass communication products as keys to understanding our society.” —Journalism & Mass Communication QuarterlyShow book

Understanding your comedy style is a crucial aspect of developing as a stand-up comedian. It begins with analyzing the content you're drawn to, whether it's observational humor, personal anecdotes, social commentary, or absurdist concepts. Your delivery style is equally important - are you naturally deadpan, high-energy, conversational, or theatrical? Consider the persona you present on stage. This could be an exaggerated version of yourself, a completely different character, or simply your authentic self. Your writing style also plays a key role - do you prefer snappy one-liners, elaborate stories, or a mix of both? Identifying comedians who influence you can provide insights into your own style. Pay attention to which parts of your set get the strongest reactions from the audience, as this can highlight your strengths. Note the topics or styles that feel most natural to you, but also be open to experimenting with different approaches.Show book
