"Funny Talk" is a unique and entertaining collection of new writing on (and around) the theme of comedy.
Among the twenty-five authors: MICHAEL PALIN writes about Sid (the driver from Hell) and life on the road with Python, JEREMY HARDY finds out if there are any links between comedy and rock'n'roll, MARK LAMARR tells how a bizarre evening began with a canine death-threat, and HATTIE HAYRIDGE explodes a few myths about comedy, carnival-time and the hazards of heckling. MARK STEEL reveals the problems of the Slightly Successful Comedian, MALCOLM HARDEE tells what really happened at Freddie Mercury's 40th Birthday bash, MAX BYGRAVES recalls buying his first car (an Anglia), and singer/songwriter RALPH McTELL reveals a life-long love of Laurel&Hardy.
Plus entertaining and informative contributions from: ALAN KING, ANITA CHAUDHURI, ARNOLD BROWN, BOB MILLS, BRUCE DESSAU, DWIGHT Z GIANNETTI, GLEN COLSON, HANK WANGFORD, JOHN HEGLEY, JON RONSON, MALCOLM HAY, NORMAN LOVETT, PETER CURRAN, RICHARD BUCKNALL, PAUL WHITEHOUSE, RONNIE GOLDEN, JIM DRIVER.
"Funny Talk" is packed full of humour, wit, and far more wisdom than you'd expect from a single soft-back volume. It is the follow-up to the highly-acclaimed "Rock Talk".
