HumorUs Stories — Classic and Original Funny Stories – Details, episodes & analysis

Classic Tales and New Laughs from Twain to Today

Comedy is the oldest trick in the book (or the short story), and HumorUs goes digging for the funniest classic tales with a few new ones sprinkled in. Each episode is one short story, narrated with care and a raised eyebrow. Bureaucratic guinea pigs that simply will not stop multiplying, courtesy of Ellis Parker Butler. A backwoods divorce that doubles right back into a wedding, by way of O. Henry. A shipwreck that strands exactly the wrong man, from the dry wit of W.W. Jacobs. A town so devoted to oversight it forms a committee to oversee the committees. Some of these tales are a hundred years old. Some are brand new. All of them prove the same stubborn little fact, that a good laugh never goes out of print. So pour something, settle in, and let the great humorists, famous and forgotten alike, humor us. A comedy fiction podcast from Short Storyverses.

All episodes are narrated by professional voice actor, Don McDonald.

Please help me out. If HumorUs makes you smile, please take ten seconds to give the show five stars in Apple Podcasts. A couple of recent one-star ratings (one stating that I am actually AI) have had an outsized effect on this young show. Your rating genuinely helps. Thanks.
