Description

That’s Really Funny! Volume 2, a Storyteller’s Collection of His All-Time Favorite Jokes by Joe McHugh is a 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” Joe McHugh’s story jokes are just that, miniature tales that weave together memorable characters, vivid settings, and engaging plots. Readers will meet a mother worried about her daughter’s first date, an antique dealer and her cat, two horse traders, three-legged chickens and a lot more colorful stories.

That’s Really Funny! 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. The 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. It’s the perfect book for anyone looking for an excuse to laugh.
