C.J. Phillips and cohorts have scoured much of the western world to bring you this book of the world's funniest bathroom gibberish.

Unlike other graffiti books which present any kind of graffiti, this book concentrates on wall-writing that's funny.

Efter World Tour of Skåne och World Tour of Skandinavien är det dags för Johan Glans största turné hittills: World Tour of the World! Den här gången besökte Johan varje världsdel (utom Antarktis) och gjorde standup i städer som Tokyo, Amsterdam, Ljubljana, Buenos Aires, Johannesburg, Las Vegas, San Fransisco, Dublin, Anchorage och Sydney. Väl hemma följde en 1,5 år lång turné genom hela Sverige, från Ystad i söder till Haparanda i norr.

World tour of Skandinavien är en klassisk standup-show som behandlar livets mer intressanta frågor, såsom: Vad händer när man nyser i en fullsatt hiss? Hur högljudd får man vara i kyrkan? Får man slå ett barn om det jagar en med en toaborste? Efter ett par framgångsrika år som skådespelare i olika film-, TV- och teaterproduktioner återvände Johan Glans till platsen där han trivs som allra bäst - standupcomedyscenen. Som namnet antyder gick World tour of Skandinavien utanför Sveriges gränser.

In A Vulgar Art, Ian Brodie uses a folkloristic approach to stand-up comedy, engaging the discipline's central method of studying interpersonal, artistic communication and performance. Because stand-up comedy is a rather broad category, people who study it often begin by relating it to something they recognize - "literature" or "theatre"; "editorial" or "morality" - and analyze it accordingly. A Vulgar Art begins with a more fundamental observation: Someone is standing in front of a group of people, talking to them directly, and trying to make them laugh.
