". . . a comedy vitamin for the depleted soul." —AudioFile magazine

Both original Pretty Good Joke recordings plus a brand-new bonus CD with even more knee-slappers, side-splitters, and groaners, together for the first time at a special price.

Each year, usually in April, people across the country tune in to A Prairie Home Companion's sometimes annual Joke Show. Host Garrison Keillor and guests delight listeners with jokes old and new—puns, one-liners, knock-knock jokes, bar jokes, lawyer jokes, light bulb jokes, third-grade jokes, chicken-crossing-the-road jokes, ethnic jokes, political jokes, regional jokes, blond jokes, and more. It's a treat for the good-natured and a cure for the cranky.

The set includes:

Pretty Good Jokes - (All the jokes from shows 1-4) With comedian Paula Poundstone, humorist Roy Blount Jr., and other show favorites.

A Few More Pretty Good Jokes. (All the jokes from shows 5-6) With humorist Calvin Trillin, comedian Monteria Ivy, fiddler Phil Cunningham, and show regulars Sue Scott, Tim Russell, and Tom Keith.

Bonus CD! (Available for the first time. All the jokes from shows 7-8) "Why does an archaeologist make a good husband?" "Because the older you get, the more interested he is in you."
