Other top-tier comedies are Victoriocity and The Offensive. The latter is basically what Armando Iannucci would make if he were writing a show about English football, so a great bet if you like Veep.

Anyone even remotely interested in steampunk, alt history, neo Victorian sleuthy stories, or just a really bloody funny Pratchett like story with great characters should pick this book up.

And listen to the Victoriocity backlog!
I promise you, it'll be worth it.

The book I'm reading turns out to be called High Vaultage, a comic British steampunk mystery full of gems like this

The difficulty with being in covernment —as any honourable member of Parliament would tell you, if only they could be relied upon to answer the question — is that it is impossible to keep all of your constituents happy all of the time.
In theory this didn't matter all that much, So long as you could keep enough of your constituents happy to return you at the next election — or, if not happy, then at least unable to imagine a better tomorrow.

Dropping a few in one go - hope it helps if you’re looking for inspiration! First is High Vaultage, a murder mystery set in a steampunk version of Victorian London. Seen comparisons to Discworld, and while I can’t see that, there is a similar sense of humour. #books #booksky💙📚

Cover of High Vaultage by Chris and Jen Sugden.
