Eight million people improve their mornings by tuning into Terry's words of wisdom on Wake up to Wogan. But is their appetite sated by this daily exposure? Not in the slightest. So it's lucky that Terry has been known to turn his hand to the odd bit of writing. This has allowed him to shed light on such weighty matters as how to survive a wedding, what Bank Holidays are for, why Eurovision could be responsible for the Celtic Tiger, whether we should watch out for potatoes, and where exactly it all went pear-shaped.

World tour of Skandinavien är en klassisk standup-show som behandlar livets mer intressanta frågor, såsom: Vad händer när man nyser i en fullsatt hiss? Hur högljudd får man vara i kyrkan? Får man slå ett barn om det jagar en med en toaborste? Efter ett par framgångsrika år som skådespelare i olika film-, TV- och teaterproduktioner återvände Johan Glans till platsen där han trivs som allra bäst - standupcomedyscenen. Som namnet antyder gick World tour of Skandinavien utanför Sveriges gränser.

Efter World Tour of Skåne och World Tour of Skandinavien är det dags för Johan Glans största turné hittills: World Tour of the World! Den här gången besökte Johan varje världsdel (utom Antarktis) och gjorde standup i städer som Tokyo, Amsterdam, Ljubljana, Buenos Aires, Johannesburg, Las Vegas, San Fransisco, Dublin, Anchorage och Sydney. Väl hemma följde en 1,5 år lång turné genom hela Sverige, från Ystad i söder till Haparanda i norr.

This book is a unique inquiry into the history and the ongoing moral significance of mass communication as an idea and social form. Organized around narrative accounts of individuals and their communicative worlds, it strives to refigure mass communication as a concept, illuminate significant but overlooked rhetorical episodes in its history, and call listeners to reconsider their own engagements with it today.

This is the story of amateur dramatics in Britain. In a triumphant mix of memoir, social history, interviews and manifesto, Jenny Landreth opens our eyes to am-dram and shows us a vibrant world that is a crucial part of our culture.

C.J. Phillips and cohorts have scoured much of the western world to bring you this book of the world's funniest bathroom gibberish. Attempts were made to keep the contents of all The World's Funniest Bathroom Graffiti volumes as disgustingly respectable as possible (good luck!). Unlike other graffiti books which present any kind of graffiti, this book concentrates on wall-writing that's funny.

This striking new collection exemplifies the way in which Mendelsohn - a classicist by training - uses the classics as a lens to think about urgent contemporary debates. There is much to surprise here. Mendelsohn invokes the automatons featured in Homer’s epics to help explain the AI films Ex Machina and Her and perceives how Ted Hughes sought redemption by translating a play of Euripides (the ‘bad boy of Athens’) about a wayward husband whose wife returns from the dead.

そこから広がる夢物語は、死ぬ間際の女に戯けた頼まれごとをされたり、豚の大
群に襲われたり”。

良くいえば幻想的、誤解を恐れずに言えばワケがわからない。
他人の夢なんてそんなものなのかもしれません。

"E Johnny prese il fucile" è un audiodramma in teatro: ogni spettatore, dotato di radio-cuffia, ha vissuto l'esperienza sonora ed emotiva della dimensione acustica, immergendosi nella narrazione in modo totalizzante. Un doloroso monologo amplificato nella sua potenza dall’impiego del microfono binaurale: questa forma di ripresa sonora è impiegata in particolare dal mondo musicale e da qualche anno anche per la registrazione di radiodrammi. Il palco si è trasformato in uno studio radiofonico e la luce rossa della registrazione è accesa.
