We Had a Little Real Estate Problem: The Unheralded Story of Native Americans and Comedy by Kliph Nesteroff

informative medium-paced

4.25

Not a series of humorous essays by a Native comedian -- instead, historical biographies and interviews and oral histories from Indigenous comedians reported on by a comedy historian. Big focus on Will Rogers and Charlie Hill, neither of whom I had heard of before, even though I am familiar with their contemporaries. I wish the histories/interviews had been organized chronologically, it was somewhat difficult to keep track of everyone (was this a revisit to an individual from a previous chapter or a one-off interview?).
