The Cambridge Companion to Stand-Up Comedy
Stand-up comedy is one of the simplest theatre forms in existence. The comedian stands on a (usually) bare stage, talking straight to the audience in the hope of getting laughs. Yet it has never been more popular, with national scenes developing across every continent except Antarctica. In this insightful and accessibly written volume, diverse chapters explore the subject from many angles, ranging from national scenes, live venues, and recordings…
Dumpin’ the Slag
A narrow moment of mid-twentieth-century optimism in Sydney, Nova Scotia, brought about by the end of wartime rationing, two successful labor actions, and the sense that bourgeois cosmopolitanism was within the grasp of the heretofore-marginalized industrial city was captured by one contribution to a local song contest. Aileen Stephen’s “Dumpin’ the Slag,” set to “Casey Jones,” lovingly negotiated the sensory overload of living in the shadows of …
Singing the New Scot
CJCB Radio's Cape Breton Songs Contest (1949–1952) solicited new lyric submissions on local themes set to popular songs of the day. Successful entries were recorded and became part of the station's airplay rotation. The songs would often playfully address contemporary concerns in light of a desire for greater cosmopolitanism. One such theme was the still-nascent reframing of Nova Scotia as "Scottish," a once maligned ethnic heritage now considere…
Oliver Double and Sharon Lockyer
May 19th, 1979 was the first night of the Comedy Store, sixteen days after the election of Margaret Thatcher.Alternative Comedy thus ostensibly entered its fifth decade in May of 2019, which occasioned a commemorative festival, exhibition, and conference organized by the University of Kent and Brunel University.It was also the 32nd anniversary-an admittedly less numerically satisfying one-of the first academic article written on the subject, Tony…

If You Don't Laugh You'll Cry has lain on my shelf for a year or two now; I have read it, taught from it, plundered its works cited for new readings, but had yet to sit down and try to encompass it into a review.In part the book's great strength is also the reviewer's great challenge: it bestrides a study of humor, an occupational folklife study, and a reflection on family folklore.The two former are reflected in the subtitle, The Occupational Hu…

Crime and Punishment in the Cape Breton Songs Contest
Dishpan Parade , a morning women’s entertainment program, was a production of Sydney, Nova Scotia’s CJCB Radio from 1948 to 1952. Early in its run the hosts created a local song contest, rewarding lyrics on a Cape Breton theme set to known melodies. Many entrants took the opportunity to satirize current events, protected by the implied triviality of light verse. This article places two such songs—“Bootleg Coal,” set to “The Blue-Tail Fly,” and “G…

Pretend News, False News, Fake News
The Onion parodies the rhetorical strategies of local, national, and tabloid newspapers. As its mediation shifted from newsprint to website and ultimately to social media, the cues suggesting its interpretation as inherently parodic grew potentially diffuse, especially as the act of sharing comprises both accidental and creative decontextualization. This paper contributes to a discussion of "fake news" by tracing the consequences of shifting digi…

Case study: while on placement at a mental health day centre I was assigned to act as key-worker to Mr X, a working-class white man in his early 40s who has been diagnosed with several psychiatric disorders. Mr X also experiences poor physical health. Mr X has been diagnosed as 'having' obsessive compulsive disorder, major depressive disorder, anger management disorder, Tourette's syndrome and paranoia. He has also been diagnosed with fibromyalgi…
Stand-up Comedy as a Genre of Intimacy
Through their use of amplification, stand-up comedians are able to engage an audience at a natural register, employing the modes of everyday, interpersonal, conversational speech, avoiding for the most part the distancing required for most forms of cultural performance. By maintaining control of this conversation, they are able paradoxically to give control away, wresting it back when required, thus creating the illusion of intimacy, exchange, an…
“The Harsh Reality of Being a Woman”
The first bra purchase, which implies the first bra wearing or at least the first bra specifically purchased for the young woman, introduces two phases beyond the demarcation of girl as woman: a lifetime of wearing bras and a lifetime of shopping for bras. In an effort to explore some of the consequences of using the term “rites of passage” in contemporary contexts, this article sets out to identify the elements common to the “rite” of the first …
A Tale of Two Reports
This paper identifies ‘key moments’ over a forty-year period of the history of Scottish social work, from the publication of Social Work and the Community in 1966 to the outcome of the 21st Century Review contained in Changing Lives of 2006. A recurring theme is the Scottish dimension, for social work in Scotland needs to be understood as distinct in many important respects from social work elsewhere in the UK. The paper traces the evolution of a…
“The very environment militates against denial”
In this article the author reflects on the objects brought into his father’s hospice room in the last eight weeks of his life. Objects and their placement were continually renegotiated as he moved through various stages of his disease — greater and lesser pain, appetite, freedom of movement, and lucidity, and shifting timeframes for his imminent passing. The author’s father had no direct control over the presence or absence of objects, and little…
Interest Group Litigation and the Embedded State
Interest group litigation is often seen as pitting social interests against the state. This view matches a wider perspective that judicial review is a battle between state and social actors. Recently, neo-institutionalist and postpluralists have led political scientists to question the assumptions that underlie these traditional views of judicial review and interest group litigation. If the state is an active patron of interest group litigation t…
The Market for Political Status
Evaluating the Citizens' Constitution Theory
The Citizens' Constitution Theory, formulated by Alan Cairns, provides a powerful explanation of the changes in Canadian politics during the 1980s. It tackles a research question that has far-reaching implications for the fundamental dynamics of Canadian political life—namely, how does constitutional change affect political participation? Cairns's thesis has gained widespread acceptance in the relevant Canadian literature, but the linkages betwee…
