In a project taking a year and a half, Matt Hoyle was granted extraordinary access to the biggest comedic stars alive today. From industry pioneers of yesteryear to the breakout stars of now. Rather than a simple portrait, Matt and the comic icons collaborated to create small humorous moments frozen by his lens — from zany and deadpan, to laugh-out-loud and contemplative. With introduction by Mel Brooks, COMIC GENIUS: PORTRAITS OF FUNNY PEOPLE stands as a definitive collection of those who’ve devoted their lives to making us laugh.
