Roger Wilmut maps the journey from the irreverent wit of Beyond the Fringe and The Establishment Club through the anarchic genius of Cambridge Circus, That Was The Week That Was, I'm Sorry I'll Read That Again, and The Goodies, all the way to the surreal, boundary-shattering brilliance of Monty Python's Flying Circus, presenting a panoramic portrait of a generation that forever redefined what comedy could be.\n\nWilmut writes with the authority of a meticulous cultural historian and the warmth of a genuine enthusiast, illustrating how a tight-knit circle of Oxford and Cambridge graduates dismantled the old guard of British entertainment and replaced it with something sharper, stranger, and more daring. Richly detailed and impeccably researched, this volume stands as an essential document of post-war British culture — leaving the reader to wonder just how different the world of comedy, and perhaps the world itself, might look without them.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Secondhand Stock","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49336800379099,"sku":"2026200016447-SECONDHAND","price":15.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0523\/7646\/9701\/files\/53307bdd-aacc-4384-9de7-e6ea6e0927fb.png?v=1789957864","url":"https:\/\/bookgrocer.com\/products\/2026200016447-secondhand-from-fringe-to-flying-circus-celebrating-a-unique-generation-of-comedy-1960-1980","provider":"Book Grocer","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
