「だいじなもの」。立川志の春作の新作落語。孫のたかしが父の転勤でアメリカへ行くことになったため、おじいちゃんがすき焼きをご馳走してくれる。アメリカで友達が出来るかどうか心配をするたかしに、日本のことを色々と教えてあげればいいとおじいちゃんはアドバイス。日本のどんなこと？と聞くと、日本に昔から伝わる言い伝え、と答えるおじいちゃん。なぜ、食べた後ですぐに寝ると牛になるのか？なぜ、手の冷たい人は心が温かいのか？そんな話を通じて、実は身近で気づかないようなところにも「だいじなもの」は転がっているのではないかと問いかける、ハートウォーミングな新作。第一回オーディブル寄席、立川志の春「だいじなもの」をお楽しみください。

Sie sagen ständig "Sorry", können uns in den Wahnsinn smalltalken und sind zugleich Olympiasieger im obszönen Fluchen. Sie haben die halbe Welt kolonisiert und beschweren sich jetzt über die ganzen Fremden in ihrem Land. Die Briten sind die Nachbarn, über die wir uns am liebsten wundern. Mit seinem Bestseller "Wie man Deutscher wird in 50 einfachen Schritten" hat Adam Fletcher den Deutschen den Spiegel vorgehalten. In diesem respektlosen, wunderbar komischen Hörbuch zeigt er uns jetzt sein eigenes Land, wie es wirklich ist. Gut möglich, dass Sie einen Regenschirm brauchen.

Steve Patterson's The Book of Letters I Didn't Know Where to Send is a collection of - wait for it - letters, written by award-winning stand-up comedian - you guessed it - Steve Patterson. The host of CBC Radio's The Debaters since 2007, Steve Patterson has become a household name, with more than 700,000 listeners tuning in each week. Patterson's letters may not change the world, but frankly, it's too early to tell. In these letters, he pleads, begs, cajoles, grovels, and always makes a compelling argument.

Since it began several years ago Hugo Rifkind's dazzling My Week column has been satirising the high profile and the famous, and basically anyone foolish or unfortunate enough to find themselves at the top of the news agenda that week. The column itself is a fictional diary parodying their movements over seven days in a rarely flattering but always hilarious manner. Rifkind's victims are as diverse and as headline-grabbing as David Cameron, Beyoncé, Oprah Winfrey, Edwina Currie, Barack Obama and Pippa Middleton.

Once in a lifetime a venue comes along that changes show business dramatically, that fosters growth and camaraderie, experimentation and freedom. The Comic Strip is one of those places, and Make ’Em Laugh is an inside look at how it all happened, straight from the mouths of the stars who built their careers on its stage.

The Stephen Leacock Memorial Medal for Humour is Canada's top award for humour - and nobody has won it more times than Arthur Black, who carried off his third medal in June 2006. Now, in case there is anyone left standing who still disputes Black's claim to the title of Canada's funniest man, Harbour presents the laughing proof: a retrospective of Black's best hits, high-graded from eleven previous collections stretching back over the past 20 years.

Dici Vincenzo Salemme, dici Napoli. Infatti non c'è sua opera, sia essa teatrale o cinematografica, e recentemente anche narrativa, che non ci cali nell'atmosfera del Golfo e, soprattutto, che non ce ne trasmetta i colori vividi, la filosofia, il modo di intendere la vita. A volte però essere napoletani è difficile: bisogna farsi piacere il caffè bollente, mangiare il ragù la domenica e il capitone a Natale, saper raccontare barzellette, suonare il mandolino e cantare perfettamente intonati i grandi classici della canzone partenopea.

L’infanzia fiorentina in una famiglia particolarmente moderna e illuminata, con la mamma maestra montessoriana che gli permetteva di leggere libri pornografici perché consapevole dell’importanza della lettura tout court. La precocissima folgorazione per il teatro che lo fa trasferire a Roma poco più che ventenne. I primi passi nel cinema e nei fotoromanzi, che interpretava indossando le giacche rubate a Franco Zeffirelli. La gaia atmosfera della Dolce Vita. Le avventure mondane con Laura Betti, l’affinità elettiva con Federico Fellini, la severità di Pier Paolo Pasolini.
