About this listen

Romans! Madrigals! The Dark Ages! Evolutions! Trumpets! The Oranges of The First World War!

All of this (except trumpets) and more is covered in this definitive, illustrated, easy-clean history of all world history so far, written by the twenty-first century's leading historian, philosopher and thought-thinker, Philomena Cunk.

Focusing on the inventions, art and brainboxes that made the modern world the unbearable place it is today, The World According to Cunk is the history book to end all history books. From the birth of the first baby caveman to the invention of the poo emoji. Some say history is written by the Victors. But they're wrong - it's written by the Philomenas. Well, a Philomena. The one on the cover. Yes, her, from TikTok

PLEASE NOTE: When you purchase this title, the accompanying PDF will be available in your Audible Library along with the audio.

Brilliant

So funny and poignant. I loved falling asleep too Diane Morgan’s soothing voice talking nonsense and yet somehow making sense. In this crazy world, if there’s one thing that will get you through the day, it’s Cunk.

Informative (well, the true bits), relaxing, and hilarious.

Worth the price for Philomena's pronunciation of 'Beethoven'. I think we have a new legend of British comedy.

Genuinely laugh out loud stuff!

As ever with Cunk, there's a touch of genius hidden among the apparently daft character. Too many moments of comical genius to focus on...but the COVID section is the only time the pandemic became hilarious.

Funny but flawed

There were some genuinely hilarious laugh-out-loud observations throughout, but the whole getting-the-name-wrong gag was just irritating after a while, especially the times where she got the name right the first time.
