About the Author
GARRISON KEILLOR is America's favorite storyteller. For more than 30 years as the host of A Prairie Home Companion, he has captivated millions of public radio listeners with his weekly "News from Lake Wobegon" monologues. Keillor is also the author of several books and a frequent contributor to national publications including Time, The New Yorker, and National Geographic, in addition to writing his own syndicated column. He has been awarded a National Humanities Medal from the National Endowment of the Humanities.
From AudioFile
Fans of Garrison Keillor's radio program will love this collection of jokes harvested from his annual Joke Show in April. Sound effects and genuine audience laughter capture the best of the cheerful old-time radio atmosphere. As a comedian, Keillor has a well-honed sense of timing and a facility with the bucolic language of Minnesota, both of which delight his audiences. These tapes would please anyone with a sense of humor or provide a pleasant interlude for listeners of more somber audiobooks.

Format:Paperback
The Pretty Good Joke Book is the best joke book I've yet come across! I especially like its variety. It has some cute classics and some funny modern jokes. It includes yo mamas, bar jokes, regional jokes, kids jokes, musical jokes, occupational jokes, gender jokes, old people jokes, a few dirty jokes for adults...and much, much more! Also, it's not like one of those joke books where once you read all the jokes you toss it aside. Nope, with TPGJB, it seems that every time I read it, I come across new jokes that I haven't read yet, and, it's always fun to chuckle at a joke I've read before. One read of this book and you're sure to be the clown/comic of your community!

Format:Audio CD
This CD relied on too many booger jokes for me. I thought I'd find more real humor. I would get my money back if I could.
Format:Mass Market Paperback
This revised, expanded edition of a Prairie Home Companion joke book gathers jokes from the first five joke shows and adds over 200 more jokes, making Garrison Keillor's Pretty Good Joke Book a fine gathering of puns, one-liners, and timeless classics. A fun guide for any fan of jokes.

Machine gun of jokes
Do you know how many blue grass musicians it takes to screw a ligh bulb? Four. One to do it and three to complain that it is electric.
This is a pretty good example of the tape. Read more

Thanks for the laughs
Great for a social gathering. They should also put the book "America's Funniest Bathroom Graffiti" on tape.
