Book Reviews of Comedy Thesaurus

Book Review: I'm a standup comic and I contribute jokes to Judy for her joke books.
Summary: 5 Stars

I'm a standup comic and I contribute jokes to Judy for her joke books. I've connected with many new fans who found me through the jokes in Judy's books. I'm glad I let Judy use my material, because despite my film and tv credits, it was Judy's use of my jokes that convinced my family that maybe this comedy thing of Basil's might pan out into something real. Thanks Judy. Her books are also great for speechwriters who need a joke about a specific topic. Her books are organized like Bartlett's Quotations, but with jokes that are actually funny.

Summary of Comedy Thesaurus

Every book of "humorous quotations" features the same tired one-liners from dead white males like Oscar Wilde and Mark Twain until now. The Comedy Thesaurus features more than three thousand quips from the funniest people on the planet everyone from Margaret Cho and Conan O'Brien to Eddie Murphy and Lewis Black. Arranged A to Z by subject (accidents, aging, alcohol, etc.) and thoroughly cross-referenced, it's chock-full of hilarious observations.

On politics: "You have to remember one thing about the will of the people: It wasn't that long ago that we were swept away by the Macarena." Jon Stewart

On shopping: "Every town has the same two malls: the one white people go to, and the one white people used to go to." Chris Rock

On sex: "Engaged women have sex 2.9 times a week. And the .9 is really frustrating." Jay Leno

And that's just the beginning. Full of laugh-out-loud remarks from the most popular comedians on the planet, The Comedy Thesaurus is a terrific resource for writers, speakers, fans of stand-up comedy, and anyone who appreciates a good joke.
