A Load of Wit is a compilation of quips, one-liners and smart-ass comments, drawn from two titles in Des MacHale's brilliant Wit series. All subjects are covered - from music and films, to politics and religion; from sport and food to literature and the theatre. Des casts his net wide and attracts a wide variety of sources. A Load of Wit features current comedians such as Ruby Wax, Joan Rivers, Jack Dee; some familiar faces - Jamie Oliver, Jeremy Clarkson, Stephen Fry; as well as the old classic favourites such as Groucho Marx, Mark Twain, Dorothy Parker, Philip Larkin, Oscar Wilde and Woody Allen. This is one fabulous doorstopper of a compendium.
