Synopsis
Comedian and TV presenter Jimmy Carr and his friend Lucy Greeves have donned their thinking caps and produced this wonderfully entertaining investigation into the importance of jokes and joking. Exploring the concept of humour from every possible angle - why do we tell jokes? how do they work? why can't women remember punchlines? who were the original comedians? - and incorporating hundreds of the best gags ever told along the way, The Naked Jape will do for humour what Lynne Truss did for punctuation and what 'Is it just me or is everything shit?' did for things that are shit.
