Can anyone recommend a book which will make me laugh so much I might pee my pants please?

Make sure you’ve got plenty of ‘soap powder’ in before you start. ;-)

How about watching Car Share with Peter kay. The episode with the monkey that escaped from the zoo. Guarantee that will make you laugh :-D :-D :-D

Any of the Discworld novels by the late Sir Terry Pratchett.

You could try Wilt by Tom Sharpe. I read it years ago and found it very funny. Mind your sense of humour could be different to mine :-D

I was going to give the same answer as Ginnie has. There were sequels too, I remember the Wilt Alterntive and I think there were one or two more. I embarrassed myself sitting alone on a commuter bus, then bursting into uncontrollable laughter thanks to reading Wilt!

Paul O'Grady autobiographies. Outrageous and very funny. :-D

I had a lot of Tom Sharpe books. They were kept on the top shelf, as the covers were a bit risque, and my daughters were not quite teenagers.

I found out they climbed on a chair, got them down, and read them anyway!

It transpires, despite having many books suitable for their age, they always read my 'top shelf' books, as they were, apparently, more interesting :-0

It depends on your sense of humour. OH loved the Wilt books. I tried one and didn't think it was funny at all!!

Depends on your sense of humour.

Almost any of Bill Bryson's travel books - eg - "Neither Here nor There" - though some are a bit dated now.
I remember laughing aloud while travelling alone on a train, when reading one of his books.

"Three Men in a Boat" by Jerome K Jerome.

Everyone’s tastes differ but a book that made both my OH and me laugh out loud was Buster’s Diaries. It was supposedly written by Roy Hattersley’s dog - the one that injured a goose in one of the London parks. Remember him?
