Funny Satire Comedy

A shocking story of news and fake news. A tale of heroism and struggle with a literary stalker. A success story - one small man's push to come off of the bottom. Oscar Sparrow is a sewage trucker and poet. This is his true story, recorded in his own voice. Pursued by a literary stalker, crippled by lack of dietary fibre, sometimes naked and soaked in foul waste, he never loses sight of his vision.

Bingo Grabbins is a soddit who enjoys a comfortable life (apart from his feet, of course). But his contentment is disturbed when the wizard, Gandef, and a company of bizarrely Welsh dwarves drag him away on an adventure. They have a plot to raid the treasure hoard (or so they say) guarded by...

Will Rogers once said he never met a man he didn’t like. I feel the same about beer. George Wendt and beer have shared a lot over the years: good times, great stories, useless trivia, and a successful show business career. In Drinking with George, Wendt invites readers to crack open a cold one...

The funny man is a middling comic in an unnamed city. By day he takes care of his infant son, by night he performs in small clubs, sandwiched between other aspiring comics. His wife waits tables to support the family. It doesn't sound like much, but they're happy, more or less. Until the day he comes up with it. His thing. His gimmick. And everything changes. He's a headliner, and the venues get bigger fast. Pretty soon it's Hollywood and a starring role in a blockbuster, all thanks to the gimmick.

A parody for fans of Harry Potter and The Crown, Harry Windzor and the Magic of Monarchy is an irreverent, satirical twist on the life of Prince Harry and the House of Windsor.

Maybe this isn’t a satire after all...

Gappers will get your goat. Literally. If you don't brush them off and return them to the ocean, whence they arrive every day, these bright orange, many-eyed creatures will cover your goats, and the goats will stop giving milk. In a village called Frip, goat's milk was the entire economy. Three...

Crooks are caught with steaks in their pants, cops pull over kangaroo wranglers, and cons are chased down the street wearing bunny slippers.

Described at 'the new Bridget Jones' and the 'funniest book of the year' - this is the very funny, very silly tale of Tracie Martin - Wag extraordinaire - who gets herself into the most astonishing amount of trouble when she moves to Los Angeles.

Tommy is broke, drinks too much Guinness, smokes too much weed and is frightened of his own shadow.

Si prenda una compagnia di commedianti di provincia, si lasci loro libertà di azione e di inazione, si aggiungano amori comici e beffe sarcastiche, tradimenti e pitoccherie, finzione e verità, si lasci che i guitti in questione incontrino bislacchi, poetucoli, imbroglioni: si mescoli il tutto in una lingua mobile e saltimbanca e si avrà Il Romanzo buffo di Scarron.
