Recenzii

'A lively and interesting book that provides a much-needed examination of Irish stand-up comedy. The work of important comics like Dylan Moran, Tommy Tiernan and Maeve Higgins is explained in relation to Ireland's rich storytelling culture, and the author's own prose is fittingly wry and whimsical which only adds to our enjoyment.' - Dr Oliver Double, University of Kent, UK
