Dom Joly's Big American Vacation

by Dom Joly

Be warned - this raw, unpolished adventure across the States contains alligator wrestling, leather chaps and Vegas weddings. As a multi-award winning comedian and travel journalist, Dom Joly's take on any destination is always witty, sharp, hilarious and irreverent - even more so when that destination is the backwaters of the USA.

Join Dom on a three-week odyssey across the USA as he explores the weird and wonderful oddities of American culture with his trusty sidekick (and complete stranger) Fiona. With the same level of widescreen storytelling you'd expect from a television documentary, Big American Vacation sees Joly rove across the continent in his Chrysler 'Enormoburger', investigating coffin races at the 'Cryonics Mardi Gras', drive-through weddings and late-night emergency Elvises, competitive turkey bowling, marijuana sommeliers and dude ranches.

Hilarious vacation. Wedding in Vegas, gathering cows, marijuana tour, frozen turkey bowling, wrestling alligators, UFOs and ghosts, running away from bull riding, skeleton museum, simulated illegal crossing the Mexican/USA border...

Subject matter is insteresting. Dom Joly is not.

This was very inconsistent. Some bits were interesting and mildly entertaining. Overall, I was disappointed though and it wasn't as funny as I had hoped it would be.

What a cool book. Inthe eight chapters Dom and Fiona try various quirky things stateside. From Aliigator wrangling to cross a fake US/Mexican border. It's very funny and I loved it.

Funny witty and informative set of podcasts that I would listen to again and again.
