What will make me laugh like Bill Bryson does?

Inspiration needed please! I stopped reading for fun a few years ago due to studying and I need a few books for my holiday. I've read everything Bill Bryson has written, and they made me laugh out loud. Can anyone point me in the direction of something similar? Not necessarily travel books or non fiction but easy to pick up and put down and funny? Thanks.

Thanks to the poster upthread who recommended Charlie Connelly. I bought And Did Those Feet and it was fabulous! Have bought Attention All Shipping for my holiday. Such an interesting read, reminded me of discovering Bryson and Maconie’s books .

Clive James - Unreliable Memoirs

David Niven -The Moons a Ballon, Bring on the Empty Horses

William Sutcliffe - Are You Experienced

Agree about PG Wodehouse definitely ☺️

And not just for children..Just William.

Nobody touches Bryson, IMO, but I did enjoy Stephen Clarke's "A year in the merde" and "Merde Actually" about living in France.

‘Travels with my Aunt’ by Graham Green (don’t read it on the train - is laugh out loud funny!)
