Eccentrics of Comedy examines the lives and careers of thirteen entertainers whose comedic style was distinctly eccentric: Milton Berle, El Brendel, Bobby Clark, Phyllis Diller, the two Duncan Sisters, Edward Everett Horton, Alice Howell, Franklin Pangborn, Old Mother Riley, Margaret Rutherford, Colonel Lemuel Q. Stoopnagle, and Ernest Thesiger. For the majority of these performers, Eccentrics of Comedy provides the first serious, detailed discussion of their work. The figures are from all areas of popular entertainment. Eccentrics of Comedy includes first-hand accounts of their careers from Berle and Diller and quotes from other film celebrities who worked with the comedians. Slide offers a thorough understanding of the media in which his subjects worked and he brings their acts to life.
