Comedian

Clem Martini is the award-winning author of Bitter Medicine: A Graphic Memoir of Mental Illness. He is a Professor in the Division of Drama at the University of Calgary.

In Martini's deft hands, the trials and tribulations of mounting a theatrical production in ancient Rome ring true today - Martini's wit, as well as his intimate theatrical knowledge, is apparent on every page - The Comedian provides an enjoyable glimpse into the theatre's classical roots, while illuminating an offstage drama that, for better or worse, still defines the thespian experience. - Laurel Smith, Quill and Quire
