Comics have long pursued 'authenticity' in their acts, but what that means and how genuine it is has evolved over time. Jesse David Fox explores this concept in his new book, 'Comedy Book: How Comedy Conquered Culture–and the Magic That Makes It Work.' The book features insights from notable comedians such as Tig Notaro, Margaret Cho, and Bo Burnham.
