Whether you need the perfect gift, a companion for camping trips and airplane journeys, or a store of yarns to liven up a family gathering and or a dinner party, “That’s Really Funny!” is the ultimate collection for anyone looking for an excuse to laugh.
“Humor is the great thing—the saving thing after all. The minute it crops up all our hardnesses yield, all our irritations and resentments slip away and a sunny spirit takes their place.” ~ Mark Twain
Forty years in the making, this collection grew out of McHugh’s global travels as a professional storyteller performing at festivals, libraries, museums, and concert halls. Inside the pages, readers will encounter a man with a talking dog, two sharp horse traders, and a customer recounting a trip to Rome from a barber's chair. You will meet a woman vacationing in the Poconos who meets a mysterious man, a mother fretting over her daughter's first date, a clever antique dealer and her cat, a pair of sharp horse traders, and even a few three-legged chickens. And that is just the start.

Joe McHugh is a storyteller, writer, public radio journalist, and homegrown philosopher. In 1970, he purchased an eighty-acre farm in Gilmer County, West Virginia, where he raised goats, chickens, and draft horses. He also fell in love with the traditional music and storytelling of the southern Appalachian mountains. He performs with his wife Paula Blasius-McHugh, a musician and artist whose painting are inspired by the titles of American and Celtic fiddle tunes.
