Forget cracking open fortune cookies for laughs – dive into the best humorous fiction audiobooks instead! These narrated gems will have you snorting coffee through your headphones and giggling like a hyena (in the best way possible, of course). Buckle up for a side-splitting ride with:
A Confederacy of Dunces by John Kennedy Toole: Ignatius J. Reilly, a gloriously lazy and eccentric man-child, stumbles through hilarious misadventures in New Orleans. Narrated by John Lithgow, it's pure comedic chaos.
Shriver by Chris Belden: Two families thrown together for a Hamptons weekend – what could go wrong? Turns out, everything. Witty observations and cringe-worthy social faux pas collide in this laugh-out-loud listen.
The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy by Douglas Adams: Absurdity reigns supreme in this sci-fi comedy classic. Arthur Dent escapes Earth's destruction with a two-headed alien and a towel, and their adventures across the galaxy are hilariously nonsensical.
Eleanor Oliphant is Completely Fine by Gail Honeyman: Eleanor, a socially awkward but endearingly honest woman, navigates the complexities of life and love with hilarious results. Narrated by Claire Keegan, it's a heartwarming and laugh-inducing tale of social misfits finding their place.
Pride and Prejudice and Zombies by Jane Austen and Seth Grahame-Smith: Austen's beloved classic gets a zombified twist, and the results are surprisingly delightful. Elizabeth Bennet must not only navigate society's expectations but also fend off the undead – all with wit and charm.
So ditch the stand-up routine and plug in these audiobooks – your funny bone will thank you!
