Working with only the biggest names in comedy, photographer Matt Hoyle created Comic Genius: Portraits of Funny People. Matt spent a year and a half on this genius book and it's finally ready for the general comedy-appreciating public.
Featuring 130 pictures of famous comedians that measure 9X12, this book is perfect for your coffee table. Matt Hoyle took pictures of comedians such as the jocular John Cleese, silly Steve Martin, marvelous Mel Brooks, delightful Dame Edna and many more amusing entertainers. Instead of the regular magazine cover photo shoot Matt Hoyle has these comedy icons create small comedic moments frozen by his lens. And if the book itself wasn’t enough to make you smile, all the profits are being donated to ‘Save the Children.’
The ‘Comic Genius: Portraits of Funny’ is bound to make you laugh out loud and warm your heart.
