WICKED WIT OF IRELAND

The people of Ireland are renowned for their wit, from the 'paddywackery' of old to the biting satire of Swift, Shaw and Wilde, to modern comedians and writers like Dylan Moran, Sharon Horgan, Graham Linehan and Ed Byrne. This collection combines a pinch of traditional Irish humour, from blarney stones to drinking stories, mixed with distinctly modern one-liners, quips and quotes on subjects as varied as the Irish mammy, literary feuds, putdowns and epitaphs.
