Letters To A Young Comedian…
In 1994 I wrote a letter to ‘The Stage and Television Today’ complaining about the tedium in the column entitled ‘Letter to a Young Actor’.
They responded by firing its author and hiring me.
I started filing ‘Letter to a Young Comedian’ and continue to write a column once a month (though without the title).
Here is a selection.
