Barry Parham is the award-winning author of humor columns, essays and short stories. He is a recovering software freelancer and a music fanatic.
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.’ He followed up the next year with a brace of collections, “Chariots of Ire” and “You Gonna Finish That Dragon?“, and most recently published his 8th compilation, “Maybe it’s just me…”
Parham’s work has also been featured in three national humor anthologies:
“My Funny Valentine” (2011)
“Open Doors: Fractured Fairy Tales” (2012)
“My Funny Major Medical” (2012)
