Take a journey back in time to a world where comedy was king and the men and women who made us laugh were the brightest of stars. Comedy is not always funny once the spotlight goes out and the audience goes home.
Come with Catherine Olen on a trip through the highs and lows, the triumph and tragedy, the successes and failures of our favorite comedians from the beginnings of Vaudeville all the way through the present day.
When the laughter died, their stories did not. Find out what happened beyond the stage and screen.
As always, Catherine Olen leaves you dying for more.
