Joke Stew: 1,349 More Hilarious Servings from Today's Hottest Comedians

Joke Stew is fantastic! It's a lot of fun to have on your coffee table. You can pick it up and browse for hilarious observations on any subject (great for when you need a funny quote to begin speeches and presentations).

I was studying stand-up comedy when I was introduced to Joke Stew. This is an excellent compilation of well-known stand-up comedians, as well as some up-and-coming talent. If you're interested in the craft of writing a joke or just looking for a good laugh, Joke Stew is a great addition to your library. Many of these jokes, particularly from the unknowns are hysterical, even without the verbal delivery. If laughter is the best medicine, you can get your daily dosage from Joke Stew!

I have hundreds of joke books, collections of humorous essays, funny plays and screenplays. In each I have to wade through a lot of junk to get to the funny parts. In Joke Soup, Judy Brown has cut out the fat and serves up nothing but the funny stuff. Joke Soup features jokes from hundreds of today's best comedians, from the famous and not so famous(ok, that would be me). Just buy it- you'll laugh out loud!

I loved this book!. Organized by topic, it features comedy gems from up-and-coming hip comics; female comics such as Amy Ashton and Maura Kennedy, as well as the standard headliners such as Leno and Ray Romano. There is a point-of-view on just about every topic from therapy to movies to divorce.This is a great gift for anybody who loves comedy, especially those who don't make it out to the clubs and catch any of the underground comedy that fails to make it to television.

I recently bought this book after reading an article about it in the newspaper. It is full of jokes from a wide variety of comedians. The jokes are arranged by subject and ALL (with few exceptions)of them are hilarious. Comedians in this book range from the legendary(George Carlin,Richard Pryor) to late night talk show hosts (Leno, Letterman, Johnny Carson, Dennis Miller) to brand new stand ups (Mitch Hedberg, Dave Attel)and many more. The only complaint I have about this book is that it loses the delivery of the more animated comedians which can make a few jokes sound awkward if you are not familiar with the comic. Highly recommended for fans of stand up comedy!
