Barry Parham is a recovering software freelancer and the author of humor columns, essays and short stories. He is a music fanatic and a 1981 honors graduate of the University of Georgia.
Parham is the author of the 2009 sleeper, “Why I Hate Straws,” his debut collection of humor and satire including the award-winning stories, ‘Going Green, Seeing Red’ & ‘Driving Miss Conception.’
In October 2010, he published “Sorry, We Can’t Use Funny,” another award-winning collection of general-topic satire and humor, and the more targeted “Blush: Politics and other unnatural acts.” Parham followed in 2011 with “The Middle-Age of Aquarius,” a growing-old-but-not-so-gracefully vehicle for the award-winners ‘Comfortably Dumb,’ ‘Snowblind’ and ‘The Zodiac Buzz-Killer.’
“Full Frontal Stupidity” (2012) is Parham’s 5th collection of humor, satire and observations, and features more award-winning stories, including ‘Skirts vs. Skins’ and ‘Scenes From a Maul.’ Most recently, his work appeared in the 2011 national humor anthology, “My Funny Valentine.”

/ 05/02/2012Hey Barry,
Really love your work. I actually found your blog via a link from Ankur Mithal’s blog, which he posted in the Humour Writers Group on Linkedin. I also noticed you followed my blog Adventurers Extraordinaire, but I also have another comedy blog The 40yr Old Dad (http://fortyearoldad.wordpress.com), that I would love for you to take a look at.
I really love you’re writing style and your sense of humour is bang on. Your article on North Korea was killer. What a great concept, with those multiple choice questions added in there. All with such hilarious selections. I’d really like to keep in contact with you. I feel I could really learn a thing or two from your experience.
Keep up the great work.
