The surely soon-to-be million-copy bestselling sort-of
inspirational parody.. A timeless parody of Charlie Mackesy's The
Boy, the Mole, the Fox and the Horse. Enter the world of me, Panda,
plus my sometime-friends Cat and Teddy. You will find us living our
best lives, trying (and occasionally succeeding) to be kind to each
other. The cat is quite nice but can be a little bit selfish. Teddy
can come across as very nice, with his squeaky voice and looking so
tiny and helpless. But I must warn you, Teddy can be a vicious
little backstabber, actually. This is a book of nice illustrations
and some words from which you will likely gain some sort of
inspiration. Like: 'Just because you're struggling, it doesn't mean
you're failing... But it might do.' 'Nothing beats kindness,' said
the cat. 'Gin does', said Panda. 'If you don't stop saying
inspirational things to me, I'm going to punch you up the hooter.'
'You OK, hun?' asked Panda, but he was just taking the piss. 'We're
just so, so lucky to have each other as friends, and it's going to
make a marvellous book.'
When the innovative comedy group Monty Python embarked on their unique partnership, combining intelligence with silliness in a stream-of-consciousness display of nonsense, satire, sex and violence, they made a mark on popular culture which is still being felt today. Now, on their 30th anniversary, the five surviving Pythons -- along with some chief co-conspirators including BBC's Barry Took and Ian MacNaughton, the late Graham Chapman's companion David Sherlock, and the legendary Douglas Adams -- remember what it was like to build a comedic collaboration for the ages. Monty Python was a state of mind -- a way of looking at the world as a place where walking like a contortionist is not only considered normal but is rewarded with government funding, where people speak in anagrams or operate a cheese-less cheeseshop, where highwaymen redistribute wealth in floral currencies and knights hop around on imaginary steeds. Here in their own words - and with rare backstage photographs never before published -- is a look into that rare collective mind: the story of the Pythons' meeting, their collaboration, their clashes, their struggles to maintain artistic control over their work, and their efforts to expand themselves creatively-from television to films, books, recordings and stage shows. Here are the artists who made their personal mark on humor, engendered amazing passion from their fans worldwide, and built a lasting monument to spam (the luncheon meat, not the e-mail). In short, it's...Monty Python Speaks!

A celebration of and behind-the-scenes look at Jerry Seinfeld’s groundbreaking streaming series Comedians in Cars Getting Coffee.
Over eleven seasons and eighty-four episodes, Jerry Seinfeld drove around in classic cars, grabbing coffee and chatting with the funniest people alive. He reminisced with the late Garry Shandling; bantered with legends Steve Martin, Tina Fey, and Eddie Murphy; reunited with the cast of Seinfeld; and even paid a visit to President Barack Obama in the Oval Office. These and dozens of other guests talked about the intricacies of stand-up, the evolution of their careers and personal lives, and whatever else popped into their brilliant minds. The result was not only a hilarious collection of casual yet intimate conversations—a rare opportunity for viewers to witness their favorite performers unscripted and unvarnished—but arguably the most important historical archive about the art of comedy ever amassed.
Now that archive is preserved in the form of a gorgeously designed and carefully curated book. Seinfeld has hand-picked the show’s keenest insights and funniest exchanges. Also included is a fascinating oral history featuring interviews with dozens of crew members, executives, guests, and Seinfeld himself that details how this scrappy creative experiment landed unprecedented access to the White House, earned multiple Emmy nominations, and helped lead the streaming revolution.
Featuring a newly written introduction by Seinfeld and filled with beautiful never-before-seen production photos, this book is essential reading for comedy lovers, car aficionados, coffee connoisseurs, and Jerry Seinfeld fans.
This is Britain rewritten in predictive text. One man and his
mobile phone gremlin take on the people, institutions and events
that have shaped this country, autocorrecting as they go and
uncovering some shocking home truths. So let's honour our majestic
Queer Vicar, the Right Honourable Primary Monster, the National
Death Device, and give thanks for that Bikini Inversion*; this is
an extensive love letter (or rather text message) to this land we
call home. * Queen Victoria, Prime Minister, National Health
Service, Viking Invasion
A comedy about football, fortune, and a fanatical fanWhen Rob
Cooper, editor of the anarchic soccer fanzine Wings of a Sparrow,
receives the latest in a long line of solicitors letters, he
suspects yet another law suit has landed in his lap. Instead, he
finds himself slap bang in the middle of a situation the likes of
which fans the world over have dreamed about since the birth of the
game. He gets the chance to be chairman of his rival football team,
giving Rob the chance to do to City what he, as a United supporter,
has always dreamt of doing. But when your dreams become a reality,
they very quickly take on a very different meaning. Sometimes they
can even turn into nightmares. Not simply a tale of revenge and
bitterness, this is a light-hearted story of one man, the great
game, a small fortune, and a season of personal discovery.
