'There is an up-side to serious memory loss. Every couple of hours you have an entirely new circle of friends'. Comedy star Monkhouse was famous for his quick, ad-lib, one-liner jokes. Famously, he kept a joke book that hit the news headlines when it was stolen. Now, fortunately for us, we have a whole new, never-before-seen collection of Bob's jokes. From sketches to one-liners, hilarious mottos to freaky-facts, and covering everyday subjects as diverse as restaurants, taking the car to the garage, advice for frequent fliers, and the weather, we can continue to enjoy Monkhouse's wit and wisdom. Close personal friend, David Ismay, himself a warm-up artist, also provides compelling personal anecdotes of their time spent together over nearly forty years of friendship, set in the industry that Bob knew best: theatre.
