cover of the book Jokes To Offend Men, by Allison Kelley, Danielle Kraese, Kate Herzlin, and Ysabel Yates

Co-written with Ali Kelley, Kate Herzlin, & Ysabel Yates, Jokes to Offend Men (Andrews McMeel, 2022) transforms classic joke setups into sharp commentary about sexism. A cutting, cathartic spin on the old-fashioned joke book, it was written for anyone who’s ever been told to “lighten up, it’s just a joke!”

Inspired by our viral McSweeney’s piece “Jokes I’ve Told That My Male Colleagues Didn’t Like”), Jokes to Offend Men was named Vulture’s #2 comedy book of the year, and New York Magazine classified it as “highbrow brilliant” in its Approval Matrix. It also received a starred review from my mom.
