While a philosophy student at UCLA, he worked hard at local clubs honing his comedy and slowly attracting a following until he was picked up to write for TV. With superb detail, Steve recreates the world of small, dark clubs and the fear and exhilaration of standing in the spotlight. He describes how he noted the reaction to each joke in a ledger - 'big laugh' or 'quiet' - and assiduously studied the acts of colleagues, stealing jokes when needed. When Disneyland opened just a couple of miles away from home, an enchanted Steve was given his first chance to learn magic and entertain an audience. Here, for the first time, he looks back to the beginning of his career and charmingly evokes the young man he once was.īorn in Texas but raised in California, Steve was seduced early by the comedy shows that played on the radio when the family travelled back and forth to visit relatives. Steve Martin has been an international star for over thirty years.
