検索キーワード： コメディアンの伝記・回顧録

Dieses Hörbuch berichtet über den alltäglichen kleinen Wahnsinn zwischen Mann und Frau sowie der Familie - mit einem Augenzwinkern und leichter Ironie. Wie schnell kann es doch geschehen, dass MANN Komplimente machen möchte, doch es leider genau falsch vom weiblichen Geschöpf empfunden wird. Hannah erzählt Geschichten und Schmunzeleien aus ihrem Alltag, welche sie manches Mal belasten, die Leserinnen und Leser jedoch wohl eher belustigen werden. Sicherlich fühlt sich der ein oder andere in die Geschehnisse hineinversetzt.

David Acuff is a Hollywood insider, a military brat, a comic, a piano recital survivor, a BMW murderer, an offensive linebacker, a dog licker, a divorced TikToker, a father of three Jedi princesses, and possibly a child prodigy. He is also a semi-centurion. That's a word he made up when he turned 50 this year because "quinquagenarian" sounds like a horse disease or a Menudo song. And before he could move on to the next nifty fifty, he wanted to process how he'd lived, laughed, loved, and litigated along the way. So he wrote this semi-memoir. A semi-memie, let's call it.

When the legendary comedian Barry Cryer died in January 2022, there was a vast outpouring of grief, appreciation and anecdotes – from the general public and fellow comics alike. Now, his son, Bob, is doing what Barry’s humility did not allow: revealing the story of the man behind the jokes. This book is an ode to both Barry’s incredible life and to the lessons he so generously imparted on the art of comedy during his sixty-year career.

In The British Bloke Decoded, writer, comedian and regular bloke, Geoff Norcott peels back the layers of blokedom, revealing the truth behind the sometimes inexplicable behaviour of Britain's husbands, dads and brothers. Based on 46 years of field research and almost scientific insights, Geoff digs deep into subjects as wide as: the value of Banter, the surprising roots of Mansplaining, the near impossibility of getting blokes to send birthday cards, and whether there could be a medal system for Hoovering.

Byron Bowers is often referred to as a Comics’ Comic. A veteran stand-up comedian and actor, he's known for gripping material covering spirituality, race, socioeconomics, gender roles—and for delivering a fair chunk of it unrehearsed and in the moment. But though his life today may seem promising, it wasn't always that way. After all, as Byron sees it, the best stand-ups spin comedy from their own perceptions of reality. and what better source material to mine than one's own struggles?

I work with the world's most unintentionally hilarious woman. We'll call her Elsie W. What you are about to listen to is true, only the names have been changed to protect the author from certain unemployment. This is my job. This is the life I live. Someone help me!

Von der Rechtschreibreform zur gendergerechten Sprache, von der Vogelgrippe zu den Metamorphosen des Covid, vom Vermummungsverbot in Zeiten der Startbahn West zur Maskenpflicht in Zeiten der Pipeline Ost - was haben wir nicht schon alles überstanden! Bei seiner satirischen Zeitreise durch unsere immer bunter werdende Republik setzt Urban Priol auf Humor statt Alarmismus. Gemeinsam mit Helmut Kohl betrat er die Bühne des politischen Kabaretts, seitdem knöpft er sich alle Regierenden bis zur Ampel vor.
