Here's to the Friars
The Heart of Show Business
by Joey Adams
Publisher: Crown Publishers, Inc.
Copyright 1976
To tell the story of the Friars Club is to tell the story of comedy in America: Benny, Allen, Jessel, Berle, Gleason, Rickles, Joe E. Lewis, Martin and Lewis, Abbott and Costello, Smith and Dale . . . the list is endless.
Joey Adams tells an anecdotal, personality-oriented history of the club, spiked to the brim with hilarious routines, one-liners, reminiscences, gossip, and just plain nostalgia. And best of all are the incidents from the famous Friars' roasts -- most of them X-rated and none of them ever before revealed to the public.
The book includes sixty photographs of the celebrities, starting with the 1916 Friars Frolic and continuing up to the present day. Here's to the Friars is a delectable history of the American entertainment industry that is accurate, educational, but most of all, side-splittingly funny.
