5.0 out of 5 stars Sit in the tub and laugh!, April 21, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: That's Funny! (Paperback)

It's like Stand-up Russian Roulette. This is not one of those "A duck ,a Proctologist and a Scientologist walk into a bar...." No, none of that just standups doin' their thing, one line at a time. If you're contemplating suicide, read this first. There are'nt many of these out there. I'm a comedy writter and aspiring comedian myself and it made me laugh!

This review is from: That's Funny! (Paperback)

If you are in need of a joke, then this book is a good place to look. Since they are drawn from many different comedians that use a wide variety of materials, you can find a joke to fit almost any situation. They range from old-style comics such as Henny Youngman to the new style of comics who feel free to lace their lines with profanity. Jokes from big names such as Letterman, Leno, Roseanne, George Carlin, Dennis Miller, Jerry Seinfeld and Robin Williams appear often. There are also many other jokes from comedians that I know little or nothing about. Jokes by Jan Barrett, Bobby Slayton, Brian Kiley, Jeff Marder, Joan Keiter and Jonathan Droll all appear on page 62. Quite frankly, I had never heard of any of these people. Of course that has nothing to do with the quality of the jokes, which is on a par with those by the big names. I enjoyed this book of jokes; it is funny throughout, well worth reading. Not all are side splitters, but all will give at least a gentle nudge to your funny bone.
