The Laugh-Makers is an intensive sociological field study of the drive to become a successful stand-up comic in Canada. Robert Stebbins interviewed fifty-seven practising stand-up comedians and fifteen booking agents, show organizers, personal managers, and club managers and owners. He also observed the performances of approximately 140 amateurs and professionals from Vancouver to Halifax. Televised comedy - especially important in French Canada - and informal discussions with some twenty additional comics were also a valuable component of his research.

Colm Tóibín, a award-winning creator of The Get good atand Brooklyn, spins his care towards the confusing family relationships concerning daddies and even sons—actually these tensions involving the literary the big boys Oscar Wilde, Harry Joyce, W.B. Yeats, and even their fathers. Wilde loathed his / her parent, while acknowledged that they were very much alike. Joyce's gregarious papa driven the daughter right from Eire by reason of his particular volatile biliousness and even drinking. Even when Yeats's biological father, an important mountain lion, was in fact unsurprisingly a wonderful conversationalist whoever chat was more finished versus the works he / she produced. These kind of renowned men plus the dads who improved shape them can be purchased in existence in Tóibín's retelling, similar to Dublin's splendid inhabitants.
