African cultural productions of humour have increased even in the face of myriad economic foibles and social upheavals. For instance from the 1990s stand-up comedy emerged across the continent and has maintained a pervasive presence since then. Its specificities are related to contemporary economic and political contexts and are also drawn from its pre-colonial history that of joking forms and relationships and orality. Izuu Nwankw¿'s fascinating collected volume offers a transnational appraisal of this unique art form spanning different nations of the continent and its diasporas. The book engages variously with jokesters their materials the mediums of dissemination and the cultural value(s) and relevance of their stage work encompassing the form and content of the practice. Its ruling theoretical perspective comes from theatre and performance cultural studies linguistics and literary studies.
