# Comedy Bang! Bang! The Podcast: Absurd oral history, photos, and bits from the long-running Comedy Bang! Bang! podcast.

Most of the book is line-for-line repeats from the show. If you’d like show transcripts with great graphic design, or if you’re a huge Bob Ducca or Fourvel fan (who are both repeatedly featured throughout the book), then this is for you!

Neither describes me so I didn’t really connect with this. There are a few notable exceptions though that hit me so hard that I still must give this a three-star review:

• Harris Wittels’ Foam Corner in print is worth the price of admission alone. I was really happy to see these silly jokes one more time.

• The “Hollywood Facts” song is… not my favorite bit from the podcast. I think I audibly groaned when I saw it made the CBB book. So it’s amazing that it turned into one of my favorite sections. The Hollywood facts collected herein are hilarious. I’m now a believer and 100% on Team Hollywood Facts.

• A few bits expand their characters’ weird universes in unexpected directions which I really dug. I could have read an entire book of Werner Herzog’s Yelp reviews, Margery Kershaw’s earnest park diaries, or Memphis Kansas Breeze’s bizarre tour schedule.

• Of the book’s many forewards and prefaces, Weird Al’s is just so good – I had to immediately re-read when I finished the book.
