About this ebook
*From the star of CUNK ON EARTH - BBC's landmark mockumentary, now on Netflix!*
'This book is great because it covers everything in existence apart from the 95% of stuff not worth bothering with' Philomena Cunk, star of Charlie Brooker's Weekly Wipe, Moments of Wonder and Cunk on Earth, Cunk & Other Humans
'Essential reading for these slipshod times' Al Murray
Once in a blue moon, a book comes along that changes the world. The Origin of Species. War and Peace. 1984. The World According to Danny Dyer. 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, from sausages to Henry of Eight to Brush Strokes to vegetarian sausages.
Read it, and you'll never have to read another book again.

Brings home how much of the comedy is in Diane Morgan's delivery. Its not bad written down, but it's not laugh out loud funny.

If you like Cunk and get what she does it's a very good read. Lots of laugh out loud moments and probably the book thats made me laugh the most in a while.

About the author
Philomena Cunk is a journalist, historian and hot-taker who has presented TV shows on everything from time and feminism to Shakespeare and Britain, and really should get round to doing a podcast while they're still a thing. She asks the big questions other journalists are, for some reason, afraid to, like "How important are the words in Shakespeare's plays?", 'Why do we cry when it's the onions getting hurt?' and "What is clocks?"
