STANDUP GUYS: A Generation of Laughs

Standup Guys is a comedian's memoir about his rising star friends including Larry David, Richard Lewis, Richard Belzer, Bill Maher, Gilbert Gottfried, Rita Rudner, Joe Piscopo, Paul Reiser, and Jerry Seinfeld. Follow these neurotic and lovable young comedians during the '80s & early '90s as they win over audiences with their talent, passion, and camaraderie.

"I really liked it. The writing was sharp, which leads me to believe youÂ must have had outside help. Please pass on my congratulations to the author andÂ tell him, her or perhaps your Dad before he passed. It's a wonderful book."Â -LarryÂ David

"This amazing read reminds me of how it might have been for artistsÂ hanging out in cafes in the early 20th Century. DeBellis reveals dead-on, anÂ existence where getting laughs practically, if not completely validated ourÂ reason to exist." -Richard Lewis

"I don't think any of us would have become the comedians that we becameÂ without passing through that crucible. I wouldn't trade anything for the fun weÂ had. God we had fun. I miss seeing everybody all the time. Standup GuysÂ authentically mirrors that time period."Â -BillÂ Maher

"The 70s and 80s arguably produced the funniest generation of comics. IÂ was transported back to the bar at Catch A Rising Star, sitting on a stool withÂ my notebooks and playing "Is this funny?" -RitaÂ Rudner

"Standup Guys was so real that I expected to get heckled by theÂ book. The writing is witty and smart and captures what it was like to be aÂ comic during that magical time., -RichardÂ Belzer

"I can honestly say the paper this book is printed on is of prettyÂ high quality and the cover is relatively durable." -GilbertÂ Gottfried

"We lived like court jesters that had taken over the kingdom. IfÂ you want to know what it was like being a standup back in the 70's and earlyÂ 80's this is the ultimate read." -Robert Wuhl

"As a stand-up, I was able to identify with John's vivid description ofÂ the comedy world in the 70's and 80's. I'm proud to be part of this club ofÂ comics and grateful that I'm not as neurotic and dysfunctional as some of themÂ in this book." -Kevin Nealon

"John's book relives all those great, early, explosive years of NewÂ York comedy: the brotherhood, the backstage fun, the beer, and even the brokenÂ bones. It was a blast." Â -JoeÂ Piscopo
