Volume 1, a Storyteller’s Collection of His All-Time Favorite Jokes \u003c\/em\u003eby Joe McHugh is\u003cem\u003e \u003c\/em\u003ea delightful compilation of 75 skillfully crafted story jokes spread across 154 pages with 27 artful illustrations that draws upon a rich tradition of narrative comedy to make people laugh and drive the blues away. Avoiding simple one-liners, put-downs, puns, and “shaggy dogs”—far too many fleas, McHugh’s story jokes are just that, miniature tales that weave together memorable characters, vivid settings, and engaging plots. Readers will meet an eccentric whisky expert, a frustrated preacher, a misbehaving parrot, an extremely lazy man, a music agent and a frog hoping to be kissed, a woman who asks an Irish pharmacist for arsenic, a pheasant-hunting grandpa, a boy on a burro and the legendary Pancho Villa, a game warden and an extra-clever poacher, a deaf golfer, a lawyer chased through the streets of San Francisco by an army of rats, a London pickpocket who finds his true love, and a genie who offers a woman three wishes—with conditions. And that’s just the start.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp class=\"p1\" style=\"margin: 0px 0px 13px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-size-adjust: none; font-language-override: normal; font-kerning: auto; font-optical-sizing: auto; font-feature-settings: normal; font-variation-settings: normal; font-stretch: normal; font-size: 13px; line-height: normal; font-family: Verdana;\"\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp class=\"p1\" style=\"margin: 0px 0px 13px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-size-adjust: none; font-language-override: normal; font-kerning: auto; font-optical-sizing: auto; font-feature-settings: normal; font-variation-settings: normal; font-stretch: normal; font-size: 13px; line-height: normal; font-family: Verdana;\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"s1\" style=\"font-kerning: none;\"\u003e\u003cem\u003eThat’s Really Funny!\u003c\/em\u003e was forty years in the making as storyteller Joe McHugh traveled the world performing at festivals, libraries, museums, and concert halls, picking up a funny story joke here and another there. \u003c\/span\u003eThe collection is tailored for use for a wide-range of occasions: gift idea, or camping trips, family get-togethers, airplane journeys, a dinner party, before bed, to cheer up a friend, or perhaps just to while away a rainy afternoon.\u003cspan class=\"Apple-converted-space\"\u003e  \u003c\/span\u003eIt’s the perfect book for anyone looking for an excuse to laugh.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Calling Crane Publishing","offers":[{"title":"Perfect Bound","offer_id":67721432269104,"sku":"9798989696239","price":11.95,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/www.thegreatbritishbookshop.co.uk\/products\/that-s-really-funny-volume-1","provider":"The Great British Bookshop","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
