The trip is dotted with a series of comic gags on the joys and pains of life on the boat, combined with funny digressions that invent stories in their own right, in the best style of English humor. All this seasoned with realistic descriptions of the regions crossed by the three friends and brief notations of philosophy for the non-professionals
PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
Jerome's classic British comedy is recounted by House's Hugh Laurie in a marvelously entertaining performance that will bring listeners to the banks of the Thames and carry them away into a world where three men and a dog named Montmorency venture from London to Oxford one sunny day. At just two and a half hours, the journey is short but sweet as Laurie captures the essence of Jerome's touching tale. With his classic witty tone, Laurie dives headfirst into each character, offering his own take on each colorful personality. There is a subtle theatrical aspect at work here as Laurie delivers a knockout one-man show that displays his wide-ranging talent.
