Comedy Editorial Review
**** "SHEMP! The Biography of The Three Stooges: Shemp Howard, The Face of Film Comedy," authored by Burt Kearns, presents a deep and insightful exploration into one of the lesser-appreciated figures in the Three Stooges trio. The book has garnered praise for its thorough research, and Kearns has succeeded in delivering not just a biography but a narrative rich with context about Shemp's life, his family, and career trajectory. Readers report that it significantly alters perceptions about Shemp Howard, often viewed merely as Curly's successor, and portrays him as an essential pillar of the Stooges' act, especially after Curly's departure due to health issues. Many reviews commend Kearns for the depth with which he covers Shemp's career, tracing his origins from vaudeville with Ted Healy to his enduring legacy within the classic comedic ensemble. Although some critiques have emerged regarding the author's focus on Ted Healy's role and a portrayal of Moe Howard as a stern taskmaster, most readers appreciate the context that drives Shemp's story. The book sheds light on the evolution of Shemp's character and contributions, providing readers with a greater understanding of his significance within the Stooges' legacy. Feedback from fans has been very positive, particularly from devoted followers of the Three Stooges, many of whom found the biography to be both enjoyable and informative. However, some readers expressed a desire for more personal insights into Shemp's character and interpersonal relationships, indicating that while the work is extensive, it may leave the reader wanting more intimate anecdotes about Shemp's life away from the stage. Overall, "SHEMP!" offers a refreshing take on a comedic icon, filled with amusing tales and historical facts that bring Shemp Howard's story to new light. **
