I had originally expected this to be more along the lines of humorous stories rather than the essays about indigenous humour that it actually consists of. There were still plenty of jokes and stories interspersed throughout to lighten things up. My favourites were And Now, Ladies and Gentlemen by stand-up comic Don Kelly, which included generous portions of his stand-up act, and Why Cree is the Funniest of All Languages by playwright/musician Tomson.Highway.

Humor has always been an essential part of North American aboriginal culture. This fact remained unnoticed by most settlers, however, since non-aboriginals just didn’t get the joke. For most of written history, a stern, unyielding profile of "the Indian” dominated the popular mainstream imagination. Indians, it was believed, never laughed. But Indians themselves always knew better. As an award-winning playwright, columnist, and comedy-sketch creator, Drew Hayden Taylor has spent 15 years writing and researching aboriginal humor. For Me Funny, he asked a noted cast of writers from a variety of fields -- including such celebrated wordsmiths as Thomas King, Allan J. Ryan, Mirjam Hirch, and Tomson Highway -- to take a look at what makes aboriginal humor tick. Their hilarious, enlightening contributions playfully examine the use of humor in areas as diverse as stand-up comedy, fiction, visual art, drama, performance, poetry, traditional storytelling, and education.
