How To Punch A Monkey


Book Description

Following his appearances on Conan and his Comedy Central special, Brian Scolaro releases his first book of his jokes, rants and musings. "How to Punch a Monkey" is a ridiculous journey through the mind of one of America's best underrated comedians. It contains his thoughts on topics like social media, death, being fat, sneezing, New York, sports, good-looking people, and the lighter side of his battle with multiple sclerosis, as well as nonsensical sketches like a conversation with his penis, the Ten Commandments writing session, an Old West Sheriff who pronounces the word "posse" wrong, and things never said by Mother Teresa. He goes from silly... I have self worth. I just don't use it. I finally had Pissghetti. It was disgusting. Frankenberry was the first openly gay monster. God must be tired of organ music by now. When I was a kid I went to John Cougar Melon Camp. It was awful. Two men in Hazmat suits just took away my pajama bottoms. I hope the guy who invented the beeping "put on your seatbelt" noise died in a horrible car crash. ...to dirty. "Tickle My B*lls Elmo." "Doesn't Aer Lingus sound like you eat somebody's p*ssy on an airplane?" "It's a "c*ck" when it's hard. A "d*ck" when it's soft. And a "pen*s" when you are at the doctor's office." Plus, a collection of little known facts about history. TODAY IN HISTORY: Aqua Man drowns. Charles Limbergh crosses the street. Gravy Boat sinks outside of Turkey. Intercourse, Pennsylvian is attacked by Masturbation, Ohio. Don't take our word for it. Check out what what these famous comedians had to say. "I've never seen Brian Scolaro not win over a crowd." - Jeff Ross "The funniest person alive." - Marc Maron "Brian has never not been funny a day in his life, so there is no way this book wouldn't be." - Ian Edwards "Brian is a masterful comic whose command of a joke was inspirational to me in my career." - Nikki Glaser "Brian has a very busy comedy mind, and the idea that he has corralled these thoughts into something we can hold in our hand is nothing short of a gift. - Tom Papa

The Champ & The Chump


Book Description

**WINNER OF BEST SPORTS ENTERTAINMENT BOOK AT THE BRITISH SPORTS BOOK AWARDS 2022** 'Hard-hitting and hilarious' - James Acaster 'Funny, moving and compelling' - Mike Costello A heart-warming, hilarious true story about fighting and family, based on the acclaimed stage show. For fans of books by Dave Gorman, James Acaster and Danny Wallace, along with boxing tales from the likes of Tyson Fury and Ricky Hatton. THE CHAMP Terry Downes - the charismatic cockney known as 'The Paddington Express' - was a world champion boxer, US Marine, gangsters' favourite and later a film star and businessman. THE CHUMP James McNicholas' PE teacher once told him he was so unfit he'd be dead by the time he was 23. James has spent his life pursuing a career in acting and comedy. In reality, that has meant stints as a car park caretaker and river cruise salesperson. After Terry's death, James finds himself in reflective mood, comparing his story of underachievement against that of his world champ grandad. What follows is an increasingly colourful journey through post-war Paddington to the blood-soaked canvases of Baltimore and Shoreditch, via Mayfair parties with the Krays. Along the way, James begins to dig into his own story, confronting the dysfunctional elements of his childhood, describing his often hilarious efforts to make it in the world of showbiz, and attempting to recreate Terry's trials by enlisting in a brutal military boot camp and boxing gym. When James is diagnosed with a frightening and mysterious neurological condition, the two tales of the fighter and the writer suddenly collide, and what began as a nostalgic journey takes on a far more important significance altogether. 'A wonderfully funny and heartfelt story of what family and lineage means. Even made me like boxing' - Josh Widdicombe 'An extraordinary family history, told with warmth and wit. Two remarkable underdog stories - come for the cockney scrapper who conquered the world, stay for the grandson and the fight of his life' - Greg Jenner 'If you like comedy and boxing this is the perfect book. James McNicholas is a very funny man and a brilliant writer' - Rob Beckett
