Pure Drivel by Steve Martin

First to recommend

Description

I've read everything ever written by Steve Martin. Pure Drivel is a collection of short stories from the hilarious, nostalgic, poignant and sarcastic mind of the great comedian Steve Martin. "Mensa" is still one of my all time most favorite funny reads.

Complete Prose of Woody Allen

First to recommend

Description

A funny book by the funny master. From Amazon; " Getting Even is a collection of 17 of Allen's magazine pieces from the late 1960s discussing such bizarre topics as the invention of the sandwich, laundry lists, death, obesity, and, of course, rabbis.

Without Feathers delivers more of Allen's New Yorker-style humor. Worthy stand-outs include "If the Impressionists Had Been Dentists," a genius piece that puts oral surgery in a whole new, much more exciting, light.

Finally, Side Effects compiles Allen's best New Yorker essays from the late 1970s. Although not as outrageously funny as his previous books, this is still a classic piece of comedy. --Naomi Gesinger "

I don't even know how to describ this play - only that it's written by both david AND Amy Sedaris. So if you like the Sedaris family, this super short, quirky, head-scratching dark comedy is for you.
