Not every book has to be deeply educational, dramatic, or dark. Some books exist purely to bring some light into our days, with giggles and outright laughter whether you’re reading quietly at home or out in public.
Comedy books are truly something everyone can enjoy, and their range of topics and subject areas means you’ll never run out of titles to giggle over.
Booktopia is proud to stock a huge variety of comedy and humour books, both from Australia and around the globe. So pour yourself a cuppa and settle in for hours of fun.
Australian author comedy books
Some of the very best comedy books are homegrown. Try sorting by ‘Australian authors’ to see which releases are local.
Great Australian Working Dog Stories is a fun read for anyone who loves dogs, has spent time working with them, or simply loves a laugh. This book has more than 300 original stories about dogs, from the ridiculous and impressive to hilarious and heart-warming.
The Land Before Avocado is another Australian romp from none other than talk show presenter and radio host Richard Glover. It’s a tale of what the country was like in the ‘60s and ‘70s, told with humour and self-reflection, and one that highlights just how far we’ve come since then.
And for the kind of book you can pick up and laugh at within seconds, opt for What a Croc! This hilarious release is a book of legendary front pages from the NT News, with countless puns, bizarre headlines, and only-in-Australia images.
Bestselling humour books
Want to know what other readers are laughing over? Sort by ‘Bestsellers’ to see what’s most popular in comedy books.
Here you’ll find books such as iconic comedian Bill Bailey’s first memoir, My Animals and Other Animals. This tale chronicles stories from his life, with a particular focus on the many animals he has met, owned, and loved along the way, from his countless dogs to his armadillo named Tommy.
Another great comedy book is Trevor Noah’s Born a Crime. This quick-witted talk show host is now known for his sharp-tongued comedy, but this memoir delves into his comedic, inspiring, and often-bizarre upbringing in apartheid South Africa. It includes 18 personal stories, going into detail the hard times and challenges of being a child of a black South African mother and white European father, but never leaving out his hallmark humour.
