Review:
"An intelligent, sensitive and wide-ranging study of jokes that is
actually funny"
-- Scotland on Sunday

"The best book about jokes ever" -- David Baddiel, The Times
About the Author:
Jimmy Carr and Lucy Greeves first met at university in 1992, where they bonded over a shared taste for near-the-knuckle stand-up comedy and terrible puns. In 1999, Jimmy binned a perfectly good job in marketing to see if thinking about jokes all day might be more fun. (It was.) Six years later, he persuaded his friend Lucy – by then making her living as a copywriter – to do the same. The Naked Jape is their first book together.
