An extract from Kevin Bridges' upcoming audiobook.

Pranking Frank

Penguin presents an extract from the unabridged, downloadable audiobook edition of We Need to Talk About... Kevin Bridges.

Aged 17, Kevin Bridges walked on stage for the first time and brought the house down. He only had a five-minute set but he discovered he really could earn a living from making people laugh.

Kevin began life as a shy, nerve-ridden school-boy. Reaching his teens, he followed his true calling as the class clown. This was a guy going somewhere - off the rails seeming most likely.  

Kevin's trademark social commentary, sharp one-liners and laugh-out-loud humour blend with his reflections on his Glaswegian childhood and the journey he's taken to become one of the most-loved comedians of our time.

Russell Brand wants YOU to join the revolution.

We all know the system isn't working. Our governments are corrupt and the opposing parties pointlessly similar. Our culture is filled with vacuity and pap, and we are told there's nothing we can do - "it's just the way things are".

In this book, Russell Brand hilariously lacerates the straw men and paper tigers of our conformist times and presents, with the help of experts as diverse as Thomas Piketty and George Orwell, a vision for a fairer, sexier society that's fun and inclusive.

You have been lied to, told there's no alternative, no choice and that you don't deserve any better. Brand destroys this illusory facade as amusingly and deftly as he annihilates Morning Joe anchors, Fox News fascists and BBC stalwarts.

This book makes revolution not only possible, but inevitable and fun.

Narrated by Russell himself.

This week on the Penguin Podcast we are thinking about the planet that we call home - from the perils of its great oceans, and the impact of our own way of life on the planet, to enjoying the simple pleasures of walking.

Thomas Meehan: Annie (audiobook extract)read by Annie Potts

The vampire world is in crisis – their kind have been proliferating out of control and, thanks to technologies undreamed of in previous centuries, they can communicate as never before. Roused from their earth-bound slumber, ancient ones are in thrall to the Voice: which commands that they burn fledgling vampires in cities from Paris to Mumbai, Hong Kong to Kyoto and San Francisco. Immolations, huge massacres, have commenced all over the world.

Who – or what – is the Voice? What does it desire, and why? 

There is only one vampire, only one blood drinker, truly known to the entire world of the Undead. Will the dazzling hero-wanderer, the dangerous rebel-outlaw Lestat heed the call to unite the Children of Darkness as they face this new twilight?

GOING PUBLIC 4.19.13 - PEDRO'S GUIDE TO THE PERFECT DINNER PARTY
Written by, and recorded with permission from by the wonderful Peter Davey﻿
...offered in two parts. 

Link to author's original post:

As I said earlier, there is still joy in the world, and I find that when everything seems to have gone to hell in a handbasket - when in fact we're all starting to secretly harbor thoughts that perhaps the Mayans got it right - it soothes my soul to find sources of amusement, little reminders that we are more than the sum of our personal or global tragedies.

Enter this week's Going Public, which is lovingly offered as pure amusement from author Peter Davey (with my apologies to dear Peter for my not brilliant attempt at a British accent...I just couldn't bear to say "arse" and "paracetamol" without one!).
