“AN OB-LEEK SENSE OF HUMOUR”

“Born Standing Up” is the autobiography of the massively and multi-talented Steve Martin, and narrates his years doing stand-up comedy around the United States, prior to his major success as a film actor.

This is a fine story full of insights, not least when Elvis (the real one) attends one of Martin’s early shows and comments, in ”his lovely Mississippi drawl” : “Son, you have an ob-leek sense of humour”.
