Going Too Far

Going Too Far

"Going Too Far" is a book by British born humorist Tony Hendra on what Hendra calls "Boomer humour". In the book, Hendra talks about the history of anti-establishment humour, ranging from pioneers such as Mort Sahl and Lenny Bruce to later comics like John Belushi and Eddie Murphy. He also covers improvisational theater groups, including The Second City, and popular anti-establishment magazines such as "National Lampoon magazine" and "Mad Magazine". It is also partly a memoir on Hendra's time at "National Lampoon".
