From 2011 up until his death at the end of 2016, the inimitable AA Gill reigned supreme as Uncle Dysfunctional, Esquire's resident advice columnist. In this raffish, hilarious, scathing yet often surprisingly humane collection, Gill applies his unmatched wit to the largest and smallest issues of our time.

The Stephen Leacock Memorial Medal for Humour is Canada's top award for humour - and nobody has won it more times than Arthur Black, who carried off his third medal in June 2006. Now, in case there is anyone left standing who still disputes Black's claim to the title of Canada's funniest man, Harbour presents the laughing proof: a retrospective of Black's best hits, high-graded from eleven previous collections stretching back over the past 20 years.

Sie sagen ständig "Sorry", können uns in den Wahnsinn smalltalken und sind zugleich Olympiasieger im obszönen Fluchen. Sie haben die halbe Welt kolonisiert und beschweren sich jetzt über die ganzen Fremden in ihrem Land. Die Briten sind die Nachbarn, über die wir uns am liebsten wundern. Mit seinem Bestseller "Wie man Deutscher wird in 50 einfachen Schritten" hat Adam Fletcher den Deutschen den Spiegel vorgehalten. In diesem respektlosen, wunderbar komischen Hörbuch zeigt er uns jetzt sein eigenes Land, wie es wirklich ist. Gut möglich, dass Sie einen Regenschirm brauchen.

Randy and Jason Sklar have a knack for exploring what makes America’s cities unique and wonderful, whether it’s finding out who in San Diego serves the best burritos, why basketball is so popular among those in Bloomington, or why the people of Portland can't let go of their old airport carpeting.

Dici Vincenzo Salemme, dici Napoli. Infatti non c'è sua opera, sia essa teatrale o cinematografica, e recentemente anche narrativa, che non ci cali nell'atmosfera del Golfo e, soprattutto, che non ce ne trasmetta i colori vividi, la filosofia, il modo di intendere la vita. A volte però essere napoletani è difficile: bisogna farsi piacere il caffè bollente, mangiare il ragù la domenica e il capitone a Natale, saper raccontare barzellette, suonare il mandolino e cantare perfettamente intonati i grandi classici della canzone partenopea.

Steve Patterson's The Book of Letters I Didn't Know Where to Send is a collection of - wait for it - letters, written by award-winning stand-up comedian - you guessed it - Steve Patterson. The host of CBC Radio's The Debaters since 2007, Steve Patterson has become a household name, with more than 700,000 listeners tuning in each week. Patterson's letters may not change the world, but frankly, it's too early to tell. In these letters, he pleads, begs, cajoles, grovels, and always makes a compelling argument.

L’infanzia fiorentina in una famiglia particolarmente moderna e illuminata, con la mamma maestra montessoriana che gli permetteva di leggere libri pornografici perché consapevole dell’importanza della lettura tout court. La precocissima folgorazione per il teatro che lo fa trasferire a Roma poco più che ventenne. I primi passi nel cinema e nei fotoromanzi, che interpretava indossando le giacche rubate a Franco Zeffirelli. La gaia atmosfera della Dolce Vita. Le avventure mondane con Laura Betti, l’affinità elettiva con Federico Fellini, la severità di Pier Paolo Pasolini.

In "Kützel & Röppen" erzählen sich Anja Rützel und Jan Köppen, was gerade schon wieder passiert ist in ihrem Leben: reichlich ulkige, überraschende, manchmal auch rührende Dinge nämlich. Ein Original Podcast wie das zufällig mitgehörte, schräg-unterhaltsame Gespräch am Nebentisch, bei dem man sich am liebsten dazu setzen würde, um keinen schrulligen Schnörkel zu verpassen. Die Journalistin und der Moderator diskutieren über Kostümpartys, Ameisenbären und japanische Performance-Kunst, über Rapperhosen und Datingshow-Mimosen.

Sex, Stachelschweine, Allmachtsfantasien, Ozeane aus Erdbeerjoghurt, das Abitur ohne Hose: Die Menschheit träumt die wildesten Sachen. Und kratzt sich nach dem Aufwachen verwundert am Kopf: Was soll das alles denn bitte bedeuten? Haben wir ein göttliches Orakel im Kopf oder leben wir nur in Neuronengewittern? Sind das Visionen oder kann das weg?
