That's Really Funny! Volume 1, A Storyteller's Collection of His All-Time Favorite Jokes written by Joe McHugh is a delightful compilation of 75 skillfully-crafted story jokes spread across 154 pages with 27 artful illustrations that draws upon a rich tradition of narrative comedy to make people laugh and drive the blues away. Avoiding simple one-liners, put-downs, puns, and "shaggy dogs" Joe McHugh's story jokes are just that, miniature tales that weave together memorable characters, vivid settings, and engaging plots. Readers will meet an eccentric whisky expert, a frustrated preacher, a misbehaving parrot, an extremely lazy man, a music agent and a frog hoping to be kissed, a woman who asks an Irish pharmacist for arsenic, and a genie who offers a woman three wishes?with conditions. And that's just the start.

That's Really Funny! was forty years in the making as storyteller Joe McHugh traveled the world performing at festivals, libraries, museums, and concert halls, picking up a funny story joke here and another there. The collection is tailored for use for a wide-range of occasions: a fun gift idea, or take it on camping trips, family get-togethers, airplane journeys, a dinner party, read it before bed, to cheer up a friend, or perhaps just to while away a rainy afternoon. It's the perfect book for anyone looking for an excuse to laugh.
