Welcome to The Yellow Ham

The Yellow Ham is a website specializing in all types of written humor from folks who'd give stand-up comedy a try if they were less scared of hotel bedspreads. Or of being laughed at instead of with. People you might also refer to as "stay-at-home comedians" or "yellow hams." We post new humor every Wednesday. Please like us on Facebook. Please follow us on Twitter.

To submit, send your humor submissions to: submit@theyellowham.com. We prefer pieces that are no more than 1,000 words. And we prefer them pasted into an email instead of attached. We also prefer one space after a period and no smart quotes, but we can't get too picky since we're publishing your brilliance for free. Also, if you send a photo to Captions, it needs to be a photo YOU took.

We're open to reading anything -- from knock-knock jokes and rants, to essays and poetry. We like highbrow humor, lowbrow humor, unibrow humor, dark humor, blue humor, and dark blue humor. Our categories are pretty self-explanatory (poems, lists, fake news, captions, customer reviews), and longer humor pieces appear under Howls, while shorter pieces appear under Hoots. Thanks for reading!
