Comedy historian Jem Roberts salutes the Eighth Python and Nicest Rutle in the first exploration of The Beatles comedy careers
Writing comedy history non-fiction to get rich is like cosplaying as a slug to get laid, but there are many good reasons for devoting your life to the pursuit: celebrating the greatest feats in laughter-making history, walking that fine line between waffly analysis and all-too-wacky levity, sharing classic laughs while keeping the metaphorical frog alive.
For me, a crucial justification for what I do is the preservation of the anecdotes and comedy tips of the greats – this is a particular passion of mine, not least because comedy geniuses just keep on dying all the time.

Box, ABC s new show Big Sky is a thrilling crime drama starring Katheryn Winnick ( Vikings ) as Jenny, a former cop, and Kylie Bunbury ( Pitch ) as Cassie, a private detective. The show begins as the two women team up to search for two missing sisters (played by Natalie Alyn Lind and Jade Pettyjohn), only to discover they re not the first women to have gone missing in a remote area of Montana. From there, the show has spiraled into a sprawling crime drama where nobody is safe.
