I had been hesitant, a lot of comedians can’t transfer their hilarious nature into a tolerable read but I was laughing so hard. Chelsea Handler is too damn funny.

"A groovier pick. If I had wanted to make a comedy, it would have been this one. Both melancholic and comic. French comedians Eric and Ramzy at their peak."

A comedians take on the Star Trek genre.
A good sci-fi setting with smart/dry humor mixed in with moments of ridiculousness. I enjoyed it more than I thought I was going to.

Perhaps biased as the two "presenters " were already my favourite comedians before listening.
But hard to say how it could b better - except longer would b great (isnt this the way with everything good)

The vibe of the movie was not funny at all. Poor choice in setting and no punch lines to make you laugh out loud. (0 more)

Food and comedy!
A friend recommended this podcast to me and I was hooked from the first episode. Love the format but also like the fact that not all the guests are comedians or friends of the presenters. The podcast is hilarious and features 2 of the best comedians around at the moment, the guests buy straight into the format and really enjoy it when they arrive with the sole intention of winding either Ed or James up. My only issue with this podcast is that I don't have a magical restaurant with a genie waiter!!!

You could learn something and it's funny (0 more)
Learn about history from drunk people
The premise is that the host, Derek Waters goes to the house of various comedians and they drink copious amounts of alcohol. The guest comedian then narrates a true account of an historical figure that they are familiar with but they are inebriated while telling the story. Meanwhile, actors, comedians and Derek Waters play the roles of the historical figures and 'lip sync' whatever the guest narrator says. This can be very comical as the narrator slurs, burps, stutters or messes up the story in some way. Each episode has 2 or 3 guest comedians and there is usually a theme to each episode, i.e. civil rights, the west, etc. Everything the narrator says is obviously not 100% accurate, however, the basis is. I have actually learned a lot about historical figures because of Drunk History because I look up things about interesting characters I didn't know about.

Book Favorite

"Or just about any book by Graham Greene. As a journalist who has now written a book myself, I’m in awe of how Greene weaves his narrative into the social and political context of his Haitian setting. The Comedians drips with atmosphere as well as suspense."
