Synopsis

Even more of a good thing: the latest collection of knee-slappers, toe-tappers, and groaners from A Prairie Home Companion Joke Shows.

Did you hear the one about the paranoid dyslexic? He always thought he was following someone. . . . Why did ancient Romans close down the Coliseum? The lions were eating up the prophets. . . .

Jokes are made for sharing, and everyone loves to laugh. This nonstop collection gathers the best jokes from four Joke Shows including the two most recent (3/8/2008 and 11/1/08), all recorded before live audiences at the Fitzgerald Theater in St. Paul. Performers include show regulars—Garrison Keillor, Sue Scott, Tim Russell, Tom Keith—along with special guests. There’s music from the Guy’s All-Star Show Band, a Guy Noir sketch, a Ketchup sketch, and an unforgettable performance of “The Sound of Chickens,” a song that bears an uncanny resemblance to the Simon & Garfunkel classic “The Sound of Silence.” Except it really is about chickens, and while “The Sound of Silence” is dead serious, this version is just plain silly. (“And in the naked light I saw/Ten thousand chickens maybe more….”)

So it’s everything fans want and expect: good jokes, good music, and a pretty darned good time.

Goodreads review by Edmond on December 27, 2022

I listened to this in an audiobook. I have to admit in an era of 2022 and after dealing with Me2 it was difficult not to re-hear the jokes with that mentality. Things and life has changed. I am looking at things a bit differently. Even the blonde jokes aren't funny anymore, but hurtful. Why aren't t......more

Goodreads review by Jim on February 13, 2016

A decent, generally entertaining collection of humor portions from the popular NPR show. I was unimpressed by some of the choices, but I certainly had a good time with a few. Even repeated jokes to my coworkers. Was surprised by a few repeats. There is nothing better that a few laughs, even at the e......more
