From the elections of Barack Obama and Donald Trump to the tragic events of Ferguson and Charlottesville, the subject of race has come to the forefront of American consciousness. Legendary satirist D. L. Hughley offers his own cutting observations on this contentious issue that continues to traumatize the nation, a wound made more painful by the ongoing comments and actions of the 45th president. Hughley uses humor to draw attention to injustice, sardonically offering advice on a number of lessons, like "How to make cops feel more comfortable while they're handcuffing you".

Tiffany can't avoid being funny: it's just who she is. But The Last Black Unicorn is so much more than a side-splittingly hilarious collection of essays - it's a memoir of the struggles of one woman who came from nothing and nowhere. A woman who was able to achieve her dreams by reveling in her pain and awkwardness, showing the world who she really is, and inspiring others through the power of laughter.

R. Eric Thomas didn’t know he was different until the world told him so. Everywhere he went - whether it was his rich, mostly White, suburban high school, his conservative Black church, or his Ivy League college in a big city - he found himself on the outside looking in. In essays by turns hysterical and heartfelt, Thomas reexamines what it means to be an "other" through the lens of his own life experience.

Welcome, my lovely, curious readers! If you’ve picked up this book, then you’re in for a real treat. I mean, who doesn’t love a good laugh, especially when it involves a bit of nudity, some unexpected mishaps, and a whole lot of fun? Let me tell you, living a naked life is an adventure all on its own. And I’m not just talking about sunbathing in the buff or skinny dipping at midnight (though those are fabulous too). No, I’m talking about the real, unfiltered, laugh-out-loud moments that happen when you decide to ditch the clothes and embrace life in your birthday suit. Now, I’m ...

In a world that often demands conformity, rebellion is not merely a choice but a necessity. This book is an exploration of the power of disobedience, examining the artists, thinkers, and activists who dared to challenge the status quo. From the literary giants who defied conventions to the social reformers who shattered societal norms, The Secret Art of Disobedience delves into the minds of those who dared to question, to challenge, and to create. It is a celebration of the maverick spirit, an invitation to think critically, and a call to action for those seeking to make a difference.

With these great representatives of comedy, Dan Leno need not fear comparison. In petticoats, and as a representative of various women of the lodging-house and slavey Class, he would have beaten Jimmy Rogers at his own game. When we see Dan Leno as a woman, and hear his delightful patter, it never strikes us that it is a man imitating a woman. 'It is a woman who stands before us, the veritable Mrs. Kelly, not a burlesque of the sex, but the actual thing. He catches every expression, every trick, every attitude, every in?

Soll sie doch in den Stürmen ihrer ausgemachten Dummheit untergehen.

The Museum of Curiosity is BBC Radio 4's monumental comedy edifice, and the only one with gargoyles in the foyer. It allows nothing inside unless it makes you scratch your head, stroke your chin or, at the very least, go 'Hmm'. Secondly, it is almost completely empty. Fortunately, helping to fill its vacant plinths is a gathering of the world's most original minds.
