Comedy by the Numbers
Eric Hoffman and Gary Rudoren
This book is perfect for people who are funny and for those who aren't funny—thus it is marketable to 100% of the population. As we all know, true creativity comes from simple formulas and the memorization of data. This new bible makes the secrets of comedy accessible, not only to those funny few among us, but also to those who might not have the ability or talent to be funny. One no longer need worry about originality—just find the right comedy number and apply as needed... and then you're on your way to POPULARITYVILLE!© Comedy By The Numbers is a NEARLY comprehensive list of all comedy characters, bits, scenarios, sketches, skits, shtick, and much more. (We say “nearly” because we want to leave room for Volume 2.) Includes special hints, tips, and unboring comedy history. Comedy By The Numbers is the brainchild of Prof. Eric Hoffman (Mr. Show) & Dr. Gary Rudoren (Annoyance Theatre)—AND features loads of comedy fun facts that you can memorize and use to impress people at parties! Click here to listen to an interview with the authors on the independent Calgary radio show Am I Right??.

McSweeney's Quarterly Concern publishes on a roughly quarterly schedule, and we try to make each issue very different from the last. One issue came in a box, one was Icelandic, and one looks like a pile of mail. In all, we give you groundbreaking fiction and much more. |

The Believer is a monthly magazine where length is no object. There are book reviews that are not necessarily timely, and that are very often very long. There are interviews that are also very long. The Believer is printed in four colors on heavy stock paper. |

It’s true. We hereby announce the debut of the Small Chair, a weekly selection from all branches of the McSweeney’s family. One week you might receive a story from the upcoming Quarterly, the next week an interview from the Believer, the next a short film from a future Wholphin. Occasionally, it might be a song, an art portfolio, who knows. $5.99 (or local equivalent) gets you the app plus six months of weekly excitement—a half-year of surprises, all delivered straight to your pocket.
