I’m looking for some ideas of humorous fiction audiobooks that I could request at my library?
I love the Janet Evanovich books!
I 2nd that! Love the Stephanie Plum series!
Yes!
Bill Bryson
In A Sunburned Country was one of my favorites of his.
@Margaret I laughed so hard at that one.
This is not a laugh out loud read, but I loved it on audio. The Readers of Broken Wheel Recommend. It is touching, quirky and made me chuckle at times. Loved it!
Loved that one. Not funny but such a good story!
Furiously Happy. I have the book. If I laugh this are reading I can imagine the audio book. Author reads audio book
I second Jenny Lawson. Her first book had me in tears.
Christopher Moore’s lamb and Terry Pratchett books are pretty amusing
Love the audiobooks of Discworld. They are amazing and hilarious.
They are an entirely different experience than reading them too. ?
Christopher Moore’s book Lamb? ?
yes, thanks. I was typing while trying to get my 2 year old into the bath lol
Haha! I hear you, I often have a cat walking across my keyboard. BTW – Lamb and A Dirty Job are two of my favorite audiobooks. Fisher Stevens is wonderful!
Fannie flagg
Patrick McManus
All David Sedaris books are pretty hilarious and great as audiobooks
Get Holiday on Ice ASAP. Laugh through Christmas
Yes, I was just going to say David Sedaris! I have lots of memories of sitting in my garage or in a parking lot listening to Me Talk Pretty One Day and roaring with laughter, unwilling to turn it off and go off and do what was next on my agenda!
Miss Julia books by Ann B. Ross. Shopaholic books by Sophie Kinsella and Bridget Jones Diary. All hilarious.
Love Miss Julia books
Donald Westlake
Yes! Dortmunder and crew are hilarious! Bank Shot and Drowned Hopes are two of my favorites.
Dortmunder is a family favorite.
pretty much anything by P G Wodehouse, and his Jeeves and Wooster series is just the best thing ever. Also, Three Men in a Boat!
I️ second those!
Alan Bennet: The Clothes They Stood Up In.
Any of Jen Lancaster’s memoirs. She’s HYSTERICAL!
Tina Fey’s autobiography Bossypants and Amy Sedaris’s I Like You:Hospitality Under the Influence. David Sedaris is very funny, too. Oh, someone already mentioned him.
Sorry, I see you asked for fiction. I haven’t read it but A Confederacy of Dunces is beloved by many.
Loved it!
The Uncommon Reader by Alan Bennett and Mrs. Queen Takes the Train by William Kuhn were both really funny.
Both fabulous reads.
The Uncommon Reader is one of my favorites. I reread it every year.
Carl Hiassen’s “SkinnyDip”. Probably his other titles too but I listened to this one and it made for a very enjoyable drive.
Anything by Fannie Flagg.
The Life and Times of the Thunderbolt Kid, by Bill Bryson. Got us through a road trip through eastern Washington, laughing our heads off. Not fiction, but tons of fun, especially if you grew up in the 60s!
Love Bill Bryson…A Walk in the Woods is my favorite (non fiction).
Boom! by Mark Haddon. It’s a YA book, but the funniest narration I’ve ever enjoyed.
Beauty Queens by Libba Bray… so funny!
The Porter Osborne trilogy by Ferroll Sams, starting with *Run with the Horsemen*!
Christopher Moore and Dave Barry.
there are lots of P.G . wodehouse’s books available as audiobooks, try some of those.
David Sedaris’ books
http://www.loyalbooks.com/book/notes-from-the-underground-by-fyodor-dostoyevsky Laughed like crazy (and it’s free on that website, both to listen or download the audiobook). Enjoy, if you decide to try it.
oh Dave Barry. I’d forgotten about him.. thanks for the reminder.. funny guy!
Where’d You Go Bernadette by Maria Semple plus any by Dave Barry.
Anything by Dave Barry
44 Scotland Street by Alexander McCall Smith — It put a smile on my face every second I listened to it!!!
Sarah Vowell’s books- she reads them as well
anything Sophie Kinsella
Erma Bombeck. She’s gone but I’m sure the books are still out there.
The Jeeves stories by Wodehouse.
“The Utterly Uninteresting and Unadventurous Tales of Fred, the Vampire Accountant” by Drew Hayes
Gosh I have no idea
anything by David Sedaris
If you like nonfiction I suggest both of Mindy Kaling’s books, Yes! by Amy Poehler, and We are Never Meeting in Real Life by Samantha Irby.
Have you listened to Believe Me by Eddie Izzard?
@Monica I haven’t, but I’ve heard good things about it.
Garrison Keilor or any of the Number One Ladies Detective Agency books.
Lisa Scottoline & her daughter Francesca Serritella write humorous books together. “Does This Beach Make Me Look Fat?” Is one title; there are several others.
Bill Bryson A Walk in the @Woods
Dave Barry and Carl Hiaasen write humorous mysteries set in South Florida, where I live.
I love Dave Barry and I’m listening to Carl Hiaasen.
Just a thought: Search or browse Audible’s “Comedy” category!
Drunken fireworks by Stephen king it’s hilarious and not scarey at all
Even though I don’t totally agree with his politics, I thought Al Franken’s Giant of the Senate was hilarious.
Hitchhiker’s Guide is fun and hilarious.
Susan Isaac’s books make me laugh out loud!
Bossy Pants by Tina Fey, Born a Crime by Trevor @Noah
“The Grass Is Greener Over The Septic Tank” Erma Bombeck.
Anything by ERMA! I read her from childhood, in the Grit newspaper, through early maturity, in her books, clear through until she passed. Always great insight and humor and 99.94% family safe!
The Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy
“The Great Brain” series by John D. Fitzgerald.
