Customer Reviews

Classic Hoffnung5
This audio gem is an absolute must for Hoffnung fans. Containing the famous Charles Richardson interviews and the Oxford Union "bricklayer" speech, it will have you laughing until you cry. As a Hoffnung fan since I was at school, it was a delight to listen to him again after so many years. Immaculate.

English humour at its best5
You need to know nothing of Hoffnungs work to appreciate his surreal and humanistic sense of humour. These tapes never fail to help lighten me up when I need a good laugh. The interviews with Charles are the highlight for me. Worth six stars!

A neglected gem4
This is great comedy. At turns surreal, observational and improvisational with superb timing and delivery.
Any fan of anything funny at all should give this a whirl.
Soon you'll also wonder why Hoffnung is not a household name along with others of his time.

Ignore the absence of hype. Get it and chuckle.
