Dom Joly Audiobooks

Dom Joly, born in 1967, is an English comedian and writer. He became a household name as the star of Trigger Happy TV, the hidden camera prank show that ran from 2000 to 2003 and was eventually broadcast in more than 70 countries – the kind of export success very few British comedies manage.

The billing matters: comedian and writer, and the second word is no afterthought. The titles in our catalogue point his comic instincts at two great British preoccupations – walking, and complaining about the weather.

Comedians tend to make good audiobook company, and Joly’s subjects could hardly be more relatable for a UK listener: our catalogue includes The Downhill Hiking Club and Such Miserable Weather, titles that promise exactly the wry, self-deprecating humour about the outdoors and the climate that this country runs on. A performer who built one of the most widely exported prank shows of its era understands timing, and timing is everything in comic audio – a joke lives or dies on its delivery.

Light, funny listening for walks, commutes and, fittingly, miserable weather. Neither title demands anything of you beyond a sense of humour, which is rather the point.
