Gary Delaney is to publish his first book this October. Pundamentalist will feature many of his gags and one-liners across 288 pages.
His publishers explain: "Headline has acquired a hilarious collection of gags and one-liners from stand-up comedian and star of Mock The Week and Live At The Apollo, Gary Delaney."
Delaney says: "The most common thing people say to me after shows is 'I wish I could remember some of the jokes'. Some people even came to see my last tour four or five times, and still didn't remember the jokes. So this book is for them."
Commissioning editor Richard Roper comments: "I have long admired Gary's endlessly inventive and hilarious stand-up, and I am delighted that Headline will be publishing his first bumper pack of beautifully crafted jokes. We all need a laugh more than ever at the moment, and this book will be just the tonic."
Here are some sample gags from the book:
