Satire & Parody Audiobooks | Comedy

Relato breve (13 minutos, 21 segundos de duración), dramatizado con música, efectos sonoros y voces varias. Es medianoche y los carruajes recorren la calle Londres, mientras la lluvia no cesa y los truenos retumban, mezclándose con los gritos provenientes de la mansión Ross. Son los dolorosos clamores de Thomas por su convaleciente cónyuge, Bárbara, quien yace en la cama nupcial, afiebrada y débil. Su esposo no cesa de vociferar su frustración y aflicción, al tiempo que ella le sonríe y reconforta. Hasta que las ventanas de la habitación, ante un inesperado golpe de viento, se abren de manera violenta. Y algo sucede.

Haywire: The Best of Craig Brown

'The most screamingly funny living writer' Barry Humphries, Mail on Sunday From the bestselling and award-winning author of Ma'am Darling and One Two Three Four, a selection of Craig Brown's finest writing collected together for the first time. What is James Bond's middle name? How does Jacob Rees-Mogg's nanny set about cleaning him up in the morning? When did Piers Morgan introduce his special guest Kim Jong-Un as “the straight-talking boy from North Korea who grew up to become a global superstar”? All these important questions, and a great many more, are answered in Craig Brown's Haywire. Featuring handy household tips from Mary Berry (‘When eating a boiled egg be careful to remove the shell first, or it can be a little crunchy’) and historic admissions from Queen Elizabeth 1st to Oprah Winfrey concerning her mother's beheading (‘Thank you for having the courage to share that with us’), Haywire presents a survival guide to the 21st century. In one chapter, Brown writes about the influence of Blackpool on Sigmund Freud and Les Dawson. In another, he unearths the Historical Online Archive and discovers that the invention of the wheel in Mesopotamia in 4000 BC drew fierce criticism on social media. “My mate tried it, says it's total rubbish” wrote Brian from Sumeria. The acclaimed biographer of Princess Margaret and The Beatles delivers essays on such diverse figures as Ronald Searle, John Stonehouse, Bruce Springsteen, Richard Dawkins, Katie Price, Stanley Spencer, Harry and Meghan, Brian Epstein, Kenneth Williams, Ronald Reagan, Simon Dee and the Marx Brothers. With the full battery of the humourist's armoury – clerihews, tongue-twisters, whimsy, parody, farce, satire, social observation, nonsense – Brown skewers the passing fads and delusions of the contemporary world. ‘Our greatest living satirist’ Sunday Times ‘Exquisitely naughty and hilarious’ Guardian ‘Craig Brown’s humour will outlive his victims … his journalism is one of the few compensations for being British now’ Sunday Telegraph

Dungeons 'n' Durags

Funny Stories About White Privilege and Black Identity from a Black Nerd’s Perspective Author and Ebony Magazine podcaster Ron Dawson lends his wit and comical social commentary to tell the story of how one of the “whitest” and nerdiest of black men finally woke up, found his blackness, and lost all inhibitions at dropping the f-bomb. A coming-of-age story of black identity. In the suburbs of Atlanta, Ron was a black nerd (aka “blerd”) living very comfortably in his white world. He loved his white wife, worked well with his white workmates, and worshiped at a white church. On November 8, 2016, everything changed when Trump became POTUS. Ron began a journey of self-discovery that made him question everything—from faith to friendships. Part social commentary and part fantastical narrative. This book goes where no blerd has gone before. In a psychedelic way, Ron is guided by a guardian “angel” in the guise of Samuel L. Jackson’s character from Pulp Fiction. Sam is there to help Ron, well, be more black. Ron confronts his black “sins” and wrestles with black identity, systemic racism, and what it means to be “black” in America. Throughout this book, you’ll learn lessons from a man who deconstructs his faith and confronts personal demons of racial identity. Gain new perspectives through these funny stories that will reshape your current views on black identity.

Kreuzfahrt durch die Republik - Deutschland in 20 (fast wahren) Geschichten (Ungekürzte Lesung)

Ein hochkomisches Hörbuch von Twitter-Star Lorenz Meyer - in vielen Stimmen interpretiert von Stefan Kaminski Auf Twitter entwirft Lorenz Meyer (@shengfui) entwirft auf Zuruf Texte und Statements diverser Personen des Zeitgeschehens: von Christian Lindner über Harald Martenstein und Heidi Klum bis hin zu Richard David Precht. Seine Beiträge werden von Hunderttausenden geliket und geteilt und legen offen, wie stanzenhaft moderne Kommunikation in Zeiten von Social Media funktioniert. In diesem Hörbuch 'trifft' Lorenz Meyer Prominente aus Politik und Unterhaltung und zeigt uns Deutschland in 20 fast wahren, da nicht stattgefundenen Gesprächen: mit Richard David Precht im Kloster, mit Frauke Ludowig auf dem Roten Teppich, mit Markus Lanz im Fernsehstudio, mit Angela Merkel beim Minigolf - das ist gleichermaßen komisch und entlarvend, denn Meyer versteht es wie kein Zweiter, den Zungenschlag der deutschen Prominenz zu imitieren. Und das sagen die 'Interviewten': Christian Lindner: 'Wer dieses Buch erwirbt, stärkt die heimische Industrie, erhöht das Steueraufkommen und lässt ein neues Jobwunder entstehen.' Thomas Gottschalk: 'Witze auf Kosten anderer abseits von 'Political Correctness' und 'Cancel Culture' finde ich immer gut. Nur das Kapitel mit mir hätte ich weggelassen.' Fynn Kliemann: 'Verstehe nicht, warum das Buch gebunden ist. Ich hätte es geschweißt oder gleich ein NFT draus gemacht' Barbara Schöneberger: 'Dies Buch ist die ungeschminkte Wahrheit, und ich mag Typen, die sich nicht schminken.'

Jokes to Offend Men

A modern, feminist take on the classic joke book to amuse and empower readers who are tired of being the punchline. A man walks into a bar. It's a low one, so he gets a promotion within his first six months on the job. Four comedy writers transform classic joke setups into sharp commentary about the everyday and structural sexism that pervades all facets of life. Jokes to Offend Men arms readers with humorous quips to shut down workplace underminers, condescending uncles, and dismissive doctors, or to share with their exhausted friends at the end of a long day. A cutting, cathartic spin on the old-fashioned joke book, Jokes to Offend Men is a refreshing reclamation of a tired form for anyone who's ever been told to "lighten up, it's just a joke!"

Eine kurze Geschichte über den Hochmut

Das Standard. Ein angesagter Laden, ein echter Hotspot und darin: eine Lesung. Ein Schriftsteller liest aus seinem Liebesroman. Über das romantische Machwerk erfahren wir allerdings wenig. Denn was wir vernehmen, sind die Gedanken des Schriftstellers, während er vorliest; später die Gedanken des Publikums, während es zuhört, wenn es denn mal zuhört... »Eine kurze Geschichte über den Hochmut« ist ein schwarzhumoriges, ehrliches und manchmal etwas überspitzt daherkommendes Hörspiel. Wohl dem, der da noch lachen kann!
