Gargantuan gags. Goofs and giggles for your favourite fella. With royalties donated to support men's mental health.

Knockabout brothers Gus and Steve Worland know a good joke when they hear one, and this smorgasbord of their favourite gags and yarns will keep the men in your life giggling all the way to the dunny and back.

Full of the Worland brothers’ best jokes about being a dad, a son, a mate, a husband and much, much more, this collection gives you their funniest thigh-slappers, from one-liners and wait-for-its to shaggy dog stories, knock knocks, lightbulb jokes, Aussie rhyming slang, the longest and shortest joke in the world … and of course, their choicest and most time-honoured dad jokes.

Through laughter and a tipping of the hat to the important things in life, The Bloke-a-Saurus also presents the wisdom of the ages with advice from the masters that helps grow boys into men, and stories that remind us that while we're all laughing, some blokes are doing it tougher than others.

Royalties will be donated to Gotcha 4 Life Foundation to help fund the training of male crisis counsellors.
