Who is this notoriously private comedian, who has riled everyone from TV personalities in the US to the government of Kazakhstan? How did he dupe the media-savvy politicians, pundits and celebrities? Who is this this social provocateur who turns an uncomfortable mirror on our society, eliciting both laughter and outrage? Reluctant to do interviews when not in character, biographer Kathleen Tracy follows Cohen's path from his roots as the son of a tailor, to Cambridge University where he ditched the idea of pursuing a Ph.D. to become a comedian, right through to the fall out from his hugely successful Borat film. Tracy reveals the comic behind the mask and finds out what motivates the man who creates these outrageous characters and if the characters themselves are in any way like their creator.
