Gialappa's Band (con Andrea Amato)

Writer

Gialappa's Band is an Italian comedy trio made up of Giorgio Gherarducci, Marco Santin and Carlo Taranto, known for radio-originated parody and off-screen TV commentary, notably the Mai dire series and the film Tutti gli uomini del deficiente.

Mai dire noi (Mondadori, 2022) is a book about the trio, written with the collaboration of Andrea Amato; the book collects interviews, anecdotes and contributions from many comedians and collaborators.

Two DeBaser reviews discuss Mai dire noi, a book that traces Gialappa's Band's rise from Radio Popolare to TV fame. Reviewers highlight behind-the-scenes anecdotes, the trio's off-screen voiceover style, and contributions from many comedians. The overall tone is affectionate and amused.

For:Fans of Italian TV and radio comedy, readers interested in entertainment memoirs, and anyone nostalgic for 1990s Italian pop culture.

 I should never have taken up with this book.

 I often laughed while reading these pages (never in either case with the 'gialappa' effect, named after a plant whose fruit yields a potent laxative – a name found by Marco in a dictionary he read during a tutoring session with a student), immersed in the settings of the shows of my youth.
