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.
