Ten Years of Comedy at the Assembly Rooms by John Connor
Regarded as the major venue of the Edinburgh Festival Fringe, the Assembly Rooms over the years have housed comics like Griff Rhys-Jones, Ben Elton, Lenny Henry, Rik Mayall, John Sessions, Jools Holland, Gerry Sadowitz and Julian Clary. Here John Connor, cabaret editor of "Time Out", presents a decade of photographs, jokes and anecdotes in a book which aims to reflect the changing face of comedy during the 1980s.
