This was a paperback book published (probably) in the late 1970’s or early 1980’s. It included stand-up comedy transcripts from many different famous comedians. I think a Bill Cosby routine may have been in there, and I’m pretty sure I recall the Smothers Brothers’ “Mom Liked You Best” as well. Other people in the book may have included George Carlin and Robert Klein, but I can’t remember precisely.
Any help locating this title would be greatly appreciated. Thanks so much!
This sounds like “Breaking it Up: The Best Routines of the Stand-Up Comics” edited by Ross Firestone and published in 1975 by Bantam.
That is exactly it, Mary. Thank you so much!! Wow, that’s amazing.
