“When we, as an audience, attend a comedy show, we feel anticipation, the excitement of human connection, and the shared experience of laughter. But what about the comedians? What happens behind the scenes? This book captures moments of their lives in these non-places: behind the laughter.” – Sergio de Miguel

The author’s photographic material passes through the TwoPoints.Net studio, where the publication is designed before being finalized at the Agpograf graphic workshop. It is printed using HP Indigo digital offset on high-quality papers from Fedrigoni Paper and Unión Papelera. The book features a sewn binding with exposed orange thread stitching.
