It examines the ways in which mockumentary films and television programmes make visible--through comedy--the performances that underpin straight documentaries and many of our public figures. Mockumentary Comedy focuses on the rock star and the politician, two figures that regularly feature as mockumentary subjects. These public figures are explored through detailed textual analyses of a range of film and television comedies, including A Hard Day's Night, This is Spinal Tap, The Thick of It, Veep and the works of Christopher Guest and Alison Jackson. This book broadens the scope of existing mockumentary scholarship by taking comedy seriously in a sustained way for the first time. It ultimately argues that the comedic performances--by performers and of documentary conventions--are central to the form's critical significance and popular appeal. 000940000 588__ $$aOnline resource; title from PDF title page (viewed July 18, 2018). 000940000 650_0 $$aDocumentary-style films$$xHistory and criticism. 000940000 650_0 $$aDocumentary-style television programs$$xHistory and criticism. 000940000 650_0 $$aComedy films$$xHistory and criticism. 000940000 650_0 $$aTelevision comedies$$xHistory crisicism. 000940000 77608 $$iPrint version:$$aWallace, Richard.$$tMockumentary comedy.$$dCham, Switzerland : Palgrave Macmillan, 2018$$z3319778471$$z9783319778471$$w(OCoLC)1023537217 000940000 830_0 $$aPalgrave studies in comedy. 000940000 852__ $$bebk 000940000 85640 $$3SpringerLink$$uhttps://univsouthin.idm.oclc.org/login?url=http://link.springer.com/10.1007/978-3-319-77848-8$$zOnline Access$$91397441.1 000940000 909CO $$ooai:library.usi.edu:940000$$pGLOBAL_SET 000940000 980__ $$aEBOOK 000940000 980__ $$aBIB 000940000 982__ $$aEbook 000940000 983__ $$aOnline 000940000 994__ $$a92$$bISE
