Laughs in Space (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781738426829)

Donna Scott is an established science-fiction editor, who recently won the BSFA Award for Best Collection for The Best of British Science Fiction 2022. She just so happens to be a stand-up comedian too - an Old Comedian of the Year finalist, Some Antics Comedy finalist, and part of the multi-award-winning cast of The Extraordinary Time-Travelling Adventures of Baron Munchausen and has performed comedy at numerous science-fiction conventions over the years. With Laughs in Space, Donna looked for incisive science-fiction stories from the cream of the genre's contemporary authors, but with a funny twist. Stories that are funny, quirky, eyebrow-raising and heartwarming - or bleak and sweary if that's more your thing.

Read stories about tech going wrong; broken spaceships; alien housemates; the tribulations of dating outside one's species, and the odd chicken. I mean really odd. There is black humour, there's absurdism, clever funny, silly funny - all kinds of funny!
