Agreed. And definitely listen to them because he makes the stories come alive. His Santaland Diaries really are hysterical. |

Lindy West and Samantha Irby are both hilarious on audio!
I've mentioned it here before, but the funniest novel I've read is Straight Man, by Richard Russo. |

I loved and found Straight Man very funny. I recently tried a Samantha Irby audiobook and found her voice really grating. I switched to reading the book itself and enjoyed it. |

Jeeves and Wooster by PG Wodehouse.
I discovered these books when I was a teen. It's still makes me laugh. “There are moments, Jeeves, when one asks oneself, 'Do trousers matter?'" https://www.abebooks.com/9780140011746/Carry-Jeeves-Wodehouse-P.G-0140011749/plp |

Specifically, because I do not find them funny . . . at all. Stand up comics are worse with one or two exceptions. |

I agree! I love his current books as well though. Also, Colin Jost's book is very funny. |
