The Road to Mars

The Road to Mars is a science fiction comedy novel by Eric Idle.

This novel is set some time in the future when the solar system has been colonised, and it follows two stand-up comedians on an interplanetary comedy circuit. Their robot seeks to understand the nature of comedy and human laughter; through this character Idle is perhaps examining his own relation to comedy as a former member of Monty Python.
