Making a Joke out of One’s Life: (An Unauthorized Autobiography) (English Edition)

Written for people who aren’t laughing at the joke their own life has become, Making a Joke Out of One’s Life contains over 2,500 jokes and one-liners that lets readers laugh at someone else’s for a change. Ken Willidau’s unique brand of humour addresses all aspects of life - from birth to death and everything in between. Willidau employs a variety of humorous devices to convey his message. Mostly drugs, alcohol and his brain. Ken Willidau’s philosophy is that if you’re going to make a joke out of your life you might as well make it one everyone can get a good laugh out of, too. The myriad of one-liners includes dark humour, tongue-in-cheek, a few jokes going around town about you, jest, self-defecating humour, plays on words and more. Book sections revolve around themes such as school, religion, sporting, sex, depression and aging. The chapters chart a route through life that make for interesting reading from innocent beginnings to the bitter end and Willidau hopes you’ll be just killing yourself laughing by the end of it all, too. Throughout the course of the book, “Here Goes Nothing – The First Weak”, “The Deformative Years”, “Friends and Enemas”, “Sporting – A Black Eye”, “Proxy Morons” and “Th-Th-Th-That’s All Fooks” are just a few of the given takes on the stages of life you’ll encounter. Looking at life through Ken Willidau’s eyes will give you more appreciation for your own life or, at the very least, give you a reason to laugh through some it, if not exactly at it, right now. Making a Joke Out of One’s Life is a perfect read for one of those dismal days when that lonely bottle of wine just isn’t enough and adding some cheese would, at least, make it look like you’re a happy party of one, anyway, and not just your own funeral party waiting to happen.
