What is Lou's on First: A Biography on Lou Costello about?

<p>Lou Costello (1906-1959) made comedy history on stage, on screen, and on the air, performing with straight man Bud Abbott and keeping the nation in stitches with "Who's On First?" and other hilarious skits. The duo made over thirty films together (including One Night in the Tropics, Buck Privates, and In the Navy), and have been inducted into the Baseball Hall of Fame. Lou's On First: A Biography of Lou Costello is an affectionate biography by Lou's daughter Chris, in which she recounts the comedian's generosity, his bumpy road to success, and the numerous hardships he endured (including the devastating death of his son) while still managing to keep a nation laughing. Despite the difficult periods of his life, Lou remained a steadfast performer, carrying on with the show whenever he could. Chris reveals her father's humble beginnings in New Jersey, where his comical and prankish side first appeared. The book tells how Lou's initial attempt to make it in the movie business failed, and how he subsequently met up with Bud Abbott, then the most famous straight man touring the burlesque houses. Their winning partnership withstood years on the burlesque circuit and money squabbles wit
