‘I know you wouldn’t know it to look at me, but I once sneezed a bit of carrot onto a woman’s hand …’ A good joke takes you somewhere completely unexpected and makes you laugh, an excellent joke makes you laugh and think. Welcome to The COMEDY Tour woven through with comedic facts, comments and short stories; this is a joke like no other and a mirthful mutiny on the historically – or is it hysterically? – male-dominated world of stand-up comedy.
