Download or read book The Mammoth Book of Irish Humour written by Aubrey Malone and published by Hachette UK. This book was released on 2012-11-15 with total page 624 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This bumper collection of Irish humour covers topics such as Absenteeism and Zoos and everything in between. It would be disappointing should such a large collection not include the best of famous Irish wits such as Oscar Wilde and George Bernard Shaw, but the emphasis is very much on contemporary Irish humour from the likes of Tommy Tiernan, Dylan Moran, Ardal O'Hanlon and Dara O'Briain, to name just a few. Lunatic, iconoclastic and, as Spike Milligan might have put it, involving 'sideways thinking', this is Irish humour at its very best.

Download or read book Humor in Irish Literature written by Don Lee Fred Nilsen and published by Greenwood. This book was released on 1996-10-21 with total page 256 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Ireland has generated an inordinately large number of storytellers, and Irish short stories bear a striking resemblance to Irish jokes. The tradition of telling jokes and stories in pubs resulted in the core of Irish-written literature, and many Irish short stories have the same narrative structure as the jokes on which they are based. This reference is a comprehensive guide to humor in Irish literature from the 16th century to the present day. An introductory essay discusses the essential nature of Irish humor, and how Irish humor developed out of pain and tragedy that resulted in a diaspora. The chapters that follow are devoted to particular centuries. Each chapter includes entries for individual authors, with entries arranged chronologically to show the development of humor over time. Each entry discusses the nature of humor in the author's works and includes a bibliography. A detailed index allows alphabetical access to information on authors and subjects.
Download or read book Do You Talk Funny written by David Nihill and published by BenBella Books, Inc.. This book was released on 2016-03-08 with total page 204 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Public speaking can be terrifying. For David Nihill, the idea of standing in front of an audience was scarier than cliff jumping into a thorny pit of spiders and mothers-in-law. Without a parachute or advanced weaponry. Something had to change. In what doesn't sound like the best plan ever, David decided to overcome his fears by pretending to be an accomplished comedian called "Irish Dave" for one full year, crashing as many comedy clubs, festivals, and shows as possible. One part of the plan was at least logical: he was already Irish and already called Dave. In one year, David went from being deathly afraid of public speaking to hosting a business conference, regularly performing stand-up comedy and winning storytelling competitions in front of packed houses. And he did it by learning from some of the best public speakers in the world: stand-up comedians. Do You Talk Funny?: 7 Comedy Habits to Become a Better (and Funnier) Public Speaker shows how the key principles of stand-up comedy can be applied to your speaking engagements and presentations to make you funnier, more interesting, and better looking. (Or at least two of the three.) Whether you are preparing for a business presentation, giving a wedding toast, defending your thesis, raising money from investors, or simply want to take on something you're afraid of, this book will take you from sweaty to stage-ready. You'll learn how to: - Craft a story and content that your audience will want to listen to - Find the funniest parts of your material and how to get to them faster - Deal with stage fright - Master the two most important parts of your performance: timing and delivery Ten percent of the author's proceeds from this book will go to Arash Bayatmakou via Help Hope Live until he is fully back on his feet and thereafter to one of the many facing the same challenges after suffering a severe spinal cord injury.

Download or read book Rowdy Rhymes and Rec im itations written by Vincent Caprani and published by Gill & Macmillan Ltd. This book was released on 2011-09-09 with total page 121 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: For about 300 years Dubliners have been creating ballads, 'rec-im-itations' and parodies – commenting in verse form – with a mischievous disregard for both the laws of libel and the canons of poetry – on everything from social events, public affairs, the city's monuments and institutions, politics, murder cases and sporting events, to their fellow citizens and street characters. Many of the ballads, in addition to showing the Dubliner's instinct for the value of words and wit, also provide an easily accessible guide to the ordinary occurrences of life in the city and a glimpse into traditions of the past. This is the tradition in which Vincent Caprani writes. So if you want to be reminded of what happened to Gough's Statue in the 'Phaynix Park', to learn more about The Whore of Hackballscross, or if you want to be entertained by 'pomes' that are by turns funny, touching and nostalgic, this is the very book for you.
