#TryHarder is about taking a moment to stop and do the right thing. To try a little harder in life and to be aware of the people and the world around you. To do right by others and make the additional effort to improve not just your situation but theirs as well. It's also about the author publicly shaming those who can't park. "Chase's irreverent yet poignant observations on the human condition are a satisfying and easily digestible read."-Joe Rainey, Vice President of Promotion, Capitol Music Group

'Man reise vorzugsweise mit der eigenen Bettdecke': Meine Deutschland-Reise mit dem allerersten brit

Wie die Briten Deutschland entdeckten - die skurrilste Reiseerzählung des Jahres. Bayerns Straßen sind eine einzige Katastrophe, unter deutschen Hotel-Bettdecken droht dem Reisenden der Tod durch Erfrieren und die einheimische Küche ist einfach nur zum Abgewöhnen. Der erste britische Deutschland-Reiseführer, verfasst von keinem Geringeren als dem Erfinder des Genres John Murray, lässt kaum ein gutes Haar an dem damals beliebtesten Reiseziel der Welt. 200 Jahre später macht sich Christian Eisert auf den Weg um herauszufinden, was sich seitdem verändert hat. Im Camper, statt mit der Postkutsche und mit ganz viel Neugierde auf seine Heimat heute und vor 200 Jahren.

'Nein ernst, als ob das komisch wär...': Kabarettistisches um, über und mit Joachim Ringelnatz

Joachim Ringelnatz zählt heute zu den wenigen Dichtern, die das deutschsprachige Kabarett seinerzeit überhaupt hervorgebracht hat. Aber nicht nur auf den Brettl-Bühnen, auch im alltäglichen Leben war er ein Original, ohne dies überhaupt sein zu wollen. Mit seinen Streichen lieferte er jedoch ausreichend Stoff für unzählige Anekdoten, die natürlich sehr bald zu Legendenbildungen führten. Es ist also nicht sonderlich verwunderlich, dass über kaum einen anderen Künstler des vergangenen Jahrhunderts soviel Merkwürdigkeiten, soviel Zoten berichtet wurden, wie eben über Joachim Ringelnatz. Das war ihm nicht immer recht, denn vielfach wichtiger waren ihm stets die unscheinbaren Umstände, hinter denen er erst das Große entdecken konnte. Deshalb ist auch, und das ist insbesondere bei Ringelnatzens Dichtung der Fall, das Unscheinbare immer das Charakteristische. Seine schrulligen Angewohnheiten, sein skurriler Humor, seine Schlagfertigkeit, alle seine Macken und Marotten, und nicht zuletzt sein unverwechselbarer Schreib- und Vortragsstil, alles das entdecken wir in diesen unterhaltsamen Geschichten wieder, die er entweder selbst erzählte, oder die ihm bis heute nachgesagt werden.

'Nuff Said

Clinton Jackson is a rarity: a comedian who works clean. A fighter against stereotypes, he has been compared to a young Bill Cosby. His comedy is mostly observational; it's about life, kids. On stage he dances as if he were in a boxing match, delivering material that is as much fun to watch as it is to hear. He is clever and engaging. On `Nuff Said`, Clinton reflects on life in America today. We are privy to his personal opinions on everything from the "San Francisco scene", to Star Wars, to the "un(i)-bomber", to feminine "mood changes". His comical observations will make you see life in a different light, and a welcome change it is.

'Rommel?' 'Gunner Who?'

Penguin Presents the unabridged, downloadable, audiobook edition of Rommel? 'Gunner Who?' written and read by Spike Milligan. 'Keep talking, Milligan. I think I can get you out on Mental Grounds.''That's how I got in, sir.''Didn't we all.' The second volume of Spike Milligan's legendary recollections of life as a gunner in World War Two sees our hero into battle in North Africa - eventually. First, there is important preparation to be done: extensive periods of loitering ('We had been standing by vehicles for an hour and nothing had happened, but it happened frequently'), psychological toughening ('If a man dies when you hang him, keep hanging him until he gets used to it') and living dangerously ('no underwear!'). At last the battle for Tunis is upon them...

10 Truths of Sitcom Writing

The Upright Citizens Brigade Comedy Improvisation Manual is a comprehensive guide to the UCB style of long form comedy improvisation. Written by UCB founding members Matt Besser, Ian Roberts, and Matt Walsh, the manual covers everything from the basics of two person scene work (with a heavy emphasis on finding 'the game' of the scene), to the complexities of working within an ensemble to perform long form structures, such as 'The Harold' and 'The Movie'. A practical 'how to' book, the guide provides exercises throughout to help the reader master each new concept and technique introduced. While the manual is written to be understood by beginners with no previous exposure to improvisational comedy, experienced improvisors will find it to be an excellent resource for honing their skills, clarifying concepts, and generally taking their work to a higher level.
