  Des MacHale's brilliant Wit series is the finest collection of humorous quips and repartee ever assembled. This is the first paperback edition of Ultimate Wit, the sixth volume in the series. And far from scraping the barrel, MacHale has merely cast his net wider and we can now split our sides at the sparkling wit of more contemporary humorists. For whilst MacHale has not forsaken old favourites, those inexhaustible wells of wit, Groucho Marx, Oscar Wilde and Woody Allen, he has also included the likes of Jo Brand, Rita Rudner and Ardal O'Hanlon.
