Headline has acquired a hilarious collection of gags and one-liners from stand-up comedian and star of Mock the Week and Live at the Apollo, Gary Delaney.

Senior commissioning editor Richard Roper acquired world rights from Christian Knowles at Blue Book Artist Management working with Rowan Lawton at The Soho Agency.

Gary Delaney is an award-winning stand-up comedian. He has made several appearances on Live at the Apollo and Mock the Week, and has written for such shows as A League Of Their Own, The Royal Variety Performance, and 8 Out Of 10 Cats.

Richard Roper said: ‘I have long admired Gary’s endlessly inventive and hilarious stand-up, and I am delighted that Headline will be publishing his first bumper pack of beautifully crafted jokes. We all need a laugh more than ever at the moment, and this book will be just the tonic.’

Gary Delaney said: ‘The most common thing people say to me after shows is "I wish I could remember some of the jokes". Some people even came to see my last tour four or five times, and still didn't remember the jokes. So this book is for them.’

Pundamentalist will publish in hardback on 1st October 2020.
