First with his performances on Minnesota Public Radio's Prairie Home Companion and later in his books, Garrison Keillor has become a symbol of the small-town Midwest -- its absurdities, its stoutness, and its warmth. His popular, funny stories set in Lake Wobegon manage to evoke nostalgia for a town that never existed.
Each April, people across the country tune in to A Prairie Home Companion's® annual Joke Show and laugh themselves silly. The best jokes from these much-requested shows are finally available on audio. Roy Blount, Jr., Paula Poundstone, and Julia Sweeney join Garrison Keillor and the Prairie Home cast for a riotous mix of knock-knocks, one-liners, regional jokes, "Yo' mama!" insults, and more.
