A Spree of Comedy

By Cormac G. McDermott

'A Spree of Comedy' is a collection of individual scenes involving ordinary Irish people in everyday circumstances akin to a soap opera but is not a continuous storyline.The author repeats the characters in order for the readers to familiarise themselves with them. These characters are fictitious people whom most people will be able to relate to. The conversations are very light-hearted and often include really funny punchlines. This book allows one to escape the stresses of modern-day living and enjoy a good laugh. It is a work of comic genius!
