Cunk on Everything

The Encyclopedia Philomena

De: Philomena Cunk

Narrado por: Philomena Cunk

From the creator and star of the “deeply funny, unexpectedly informative” (The Daily Beast) Netflix mockumentary Cunk on Earth, a helpful guide covering every single topic in the known universe, from Adam and Eve to Top Gun.

Once in a blue moon, a book comes along that changes the world. The Origin of Species. War and Peace. 1984. And now, Cunk on Everything: The Encyclopedia Philomena, by Philomena Cunk.

Philomena Cunk is one of the greatest thinkers of the 21st century, and in Cunk on Everything she turns her attention to our biggest issue: why are there so many books? Wouldn't it be better if there was just one? This is that book—an encyclopedia of all human knowledge, delving into not only life's greatest mysteries but our most important political figures and cultural touchstones.

Listen to it, and you'll never have to explore another book again.

Wonderfully irreverent

I wish it was longer.
All these superfluous words are just to meet the 15 word minimum requirement to post the review

It helps to be English…

because there are lots of references to British celebrities. Still plenty funny, though. I laughed a lot.

Hilarious!

Love everything Philomena. Brilliant always. Turn on for few minutes to get a fun smile or listen all through. You’ll laugh out loud

Just as good as her shows!

This book was hilarious. The same energy that Philomena (Diane Morgan) gives in her show, is on full display here. Absolutely delightful.

Cunk is such a damn genius

each time i listen, I catch more layers of her subtle comedic brilliance! but don't listen at night if you like to fall asleep to audiobooks...your own chuckling will keep you awake. better for chores or exercising, or driving.

Loved it

I really appreciate dry humor so this book was great to me. If you’re not a fan of sarcasm, probably not for you.

Very funny!

Very funny. Sadly there are no references to the unrelated Belgian techno anthem, “Pump up the Jam.”

Better than

I first bought the printed book, but I couldn’t get it to work. The audio version works fine though. I play it loud in the restroom at work to drown out other peoples’ thoughts.
Unable to listen to around literally anyone, especially with headphones.

what?

Fantastically inaccurate. Just enough information to really appreciate the satire. The questions offered up are legit questions... if you have no knowledge.

Love this Lady. Sooo Funny !

I’ve watched all of Diane Morgan’s Cunk TV specials - all of which are classics among the greatest of all comedy geniuses. This book is hugely entertaining but loses something in comparison to seeing her on television delivering this same type of sardonic humor. That small criticism aside, both the performance and story were top notch. As another reviewer mentioned, it is even funnier if you’re British as she mentions many things common to people from Great Britain but most of which is foreign to us Colonials ! But I followed along pretty well and my funny bone was regularly tickled. Let’s have more from Philomena. Highly recommended audiobook !
