Usually the word "comedy" scares me when it's something written before Buster Keaton invented jokes in 1921. The Canterbury Tales is a slog to get through, The Divine Comedy is neither funny nor divine, and I was expecting this to be another slog with zero funny jokes.
So imagine my surprise when I was laughing at the words I was reading. I haven't laughed this hard at a book since I was a middle schooler reading Diary of a Wimpy Kid. This was hilarious. I was so shocked by how stupid everything was. They speak in uppity language, yet they're talking about deeply stupid topics.
I really want to see this performed live. I bet this would be an absolute hoot with a packed audience.
