Hello.
I enjoy to read the books with a butler. It starts with P.G. Woodehouse, Jeeves. Someone requests it, I try. It is a very funny.  Code of the Woosters.

It is a series, has many books.

Second, I listen Master of Formalities - Scott Meyer. One book, no series. The book is very complex but very funny.

Third, I listen Phule’s Company: Phule’s Company, Book 1 - Robert Asprin. It is a little strange (very American) but funny. Is series, some books.

Now I seek new listen with butler. If is comedy, very good. If not is comedy, still good. The butler must very proper, smart. Thank you.

Not actually a butler, but the UK political TV sitcom "Yes, Minister, and the sequel "Yes, Prime Minister" features Sir Humphrey, the principal private secretary, who functions very much like a Jeeves-style butler for the cabinet minister. Though Humphrey usually acts to protect the minister, he also has his own agenda.

There was also a radio version. We have a few old torrents of those, haven't checked seeding:

The novel "The Remains of the Day" by Kazuo Ishiguro is the life of a British butler between the wars. Not at all a comedy, more tragic. Won the Booker Prize.
Two different readings available.

Absolutely agree with Gweilo.

I have Yes Minister/Prime Minister if it needs a re-up.

Remains of the Day is actually considered to be a "Comedy Of Manners", but is really more tragedy than comedy, as Gweilo says.

Can't really think of anything else that'd suit, although nothing would compare with Wodehouse, imho.  :/

Thank you the recommendations. I already listen "The Remains of the Day" by Dominic West. It is a good book but it has weight. Many emotion.

It is a tragedy Wodehouse writes no more books with a butler. Jeeves is very good. I already listen all Jeeves I can find here and i2p.

I am now listening to Yes, Prime Minister. The description is very good, audio very good. I like British English, easy to understand. Only, clapping, laughing can distract. But the program is very good, I am cheerful.

I leech here, success:
