On this beautiful day, we would like to present you with a challenge. The next time you feel down, want a distraction, or just need a good laugh, put your phone away in a case. Turn it off. Throw it out the window. You’re not allowed to doom-scroll, or watch another episode of Below Deck, because you’re in season eight and for that alone, you hate yourself. Yes, yes, we know that funny movies can be a balm. TV shows too. Don’t worry! Pick up a book. More specifically, a collection of pages that we’re sure will distract you and leave you feeling pretty good about yourself when you put it down.
If you’re up for the task, we’ve taken it upon ourselves to collect the best funny pages of 2022 to date, giving you the getaway we know you’re desperately looking for. There are a lot of names here, so there’s no excuse to go back to Bravo. Sedaris is here. Apatow too. Gadsby! How about a bit of Shannon? Odenkirk. So please, when you’re ready, take a look at our list of the comedy books of the year, so far.
