Review of "Pretty Good Joke Show" by Garrison Keillor, Various

Every year, National Public Radio’s hit program “A Prairie Home Companion” with Garrison Keillor holds their Annual Joke Show. This is tape of one of show. One joke after another will put you in a doubled –up and prone position. This is surprisingly funny, full of new jokes as well as relying heavily on old jokes you heard in the schoolyard so many times. Roy Blount Jr. is one of the guests and he's got that slow, sly Southern drawl that makes him funny even when he's not trying. Paula Poundstone is also a guest, and her fans know how good she is. Old jokes, new jokes, joke subjects, children’s jokes are well told here. The wonderful thing about this tape is that I laugh myself silly and then forget the jokes so I can listen to the tapes many times and laugh each time through. This is a great tape to take on a trip.
