About our funny stories
Funny short stories where things go wrong in the best way: a baker whose butterscotch mistake floods a city with pudding, a giant potato that sparks a vegetable rebellion, llamas who need a very particular hat, and a town that banned laughter for three hundred years until Bob turned up. Expect silly villages with sillier names, eccentric inventors and plans that collapse spectacularly.
The humour is gentle and family-friendly, so most of these work as funny stories for kids as well as for adults who need a smile. Each takes about five minutes to read, and they're fun to read aloud, voices recommended.
For more good moods, see our happy stories. Younger readers will also like our kids stories.
Questions & answers
Are the funny stories suitable for kids?
Yes, the humour is silly rather than rude, so they work for children as well as adults. They are especially fun read aloud with voices.
How long are they?
Most are around 800 words, about three or four minutes of reading.
What kind of humour do they have?
Absurd situations and plans that go wrong: talking vegetables, eccentric inventors, villages with ridiculous traditions. If you like gentle, warm comedy rather than jokes, you will feel at home.
