Just when you thought Ellen Degeneres, Roseanne Barr and Whoppi Goldberg were the only funny comediennes you knew, along comes Judy Brown with a book dedictated to humor from the top comediennes today. What a joy it is to read a book that I can not only relate to, but also want to smack my boyfriend over the head with! I am buying one for my two sisters AND my mother!

This review is from: She's So Funny: 1,768 of the Best Jokes From Women Comedians (Paperback)

Judy Brown handed me this book at the annual Booksellers of America Convention when it first came out. I am not one to purchase joke books.

I began taking this book with me to waiting rooms, airports, the car dealership (waiting for service work), etc. I thought I'd check it out. I cannot tell you how many times I just burst out laughing in public. I have laughed and laughed and laughed. When I've tried to read some of these jokes to others I've laughed so hard while reading that tears were streaming down my face and I couldn't get the words out because I couldn't stop laughing.

Great therapy for anyone who is stressed out!!

"She's So Funny" is Judy Brown's best compilation of jokes so far. And I'm not saying that just because I'm one of the comics quoted in the book! Judy has collected only the best jokes: the smartest, the leanest, and the punchiest. And they're all written and performed by women. As far as I know, that's a first. Also, a lot of the women are my friends. I like the layout, the type face, the categories. It's fun to read. A must for slumber parties, bachelor parties, and sorority parties! Do yourself a favor and get a copy. You'll laugh till your ovaries ache!
