problem Club, The

This audiobook is narrated by a digital voice. A whimsical gathering of Edwardian gentlemen meets regularly in a smoke-filled club room, not to debate politics or play cards, but to pose strange, cerebral, and delightfully absurd challenges—“problems” designed to amuse, bewilder, and provoke. This is The Problem Club, a unique society where wit reigns supreme, conversation is king, and no intellectual detour is too trivial or too odd. Written by Barry Pain with his signature dry humor and keen eye for social satire, this collection of tales chronicles the bizarre problems posed by the club’s eccentric members—from hypothetical giraffes in drawing rooms to paradoxical kissing dilemmas. Each episode is a celebration of logic twisted into delightful nonsense, where smug certainty often gives way to hilarious collapse. With its warm wit, refined charm, and brilliant parody of upper-class pretensions, The Problem Club offers listeners a nostalgic escape into a world where intellect meets absurdity in the most gentlemanly fashion. Perfect for fans of P. G. Wodehouse, Jerome K. Jerome, and lovers of clever, conversational storytelling.
