1	Class Clown (1972) more music like this by George Carlin Comedian George Carlin's definitive monologue was delivered on 1972's Class Clown album in the form of "Seven Dirty Words You Can Never Say on Television." While the majority of routines on Class Clown dealt with Carlin's self examination surrounding his Irish Catholic upbringing, he saved his controversial tour de force as the album's grand ... see all copies from $7.07!
2	I Have a Pony (1985) more music like this by Steven Wright Frizzy haired-yet-balding comic Steven Wright quickly set himself apart from other standups with his sleepy, wry, mumbled, deadpan one-liners. Wright's act is captured on his 1985 album I Have a Pony, recorded live at Wolfgang's in San Francisco and Park West in Chicago. His absurdist style is a weirder slant on the kind of observations of ... see all copies from $5.22! new only from $5.22!
3	FM & AM (1972) more music like this by George Carlin While FM & AM was reissued on compact disc as part of the George Carlin box set The Little David Years 1971-1977, it's important to have this early groundbreaking release available again, individually, at an affordable price. FM & AM found Carlin officially poking fun at, while incorporating, his early material performed in the lounges of America ... see all copies from $8.93! new only from $8.93!
4	Button-Down Mind of Bob Newhart (1960) more music like this by Bob Newhart Though not the first standup comedian to release a live recording, Bob Newhart was probably the first to really capture the public's attention, thanks to this debut. Of the six pieces included on this album, five of them are set up as part of a conversation (usually by phone), something that became Newhart's trademark. The material here would have ... see all copies from $4.77! new only from $9.28!
5	Wonderfulness (1966) more music like this by Bill Cosby Bill Cosby cracked the Top Ten album chart with 1966's Wonderfulness, his fourth long-player in less than two years. This was indeed a sizable feat for a comedian during the height of the mid-'60s British Invasion, but not surprising in the case of Cosby. His exposure on the talk and variety television circuit of the mid-'60s had increased thanks ... see all copies from $5.55! new only from $9.55!
6	That Was the Year That Was (1965) more music like this by Tom Lehrer Tom Lehrer's work always had a biting, satirical edge to it, but never was this more obvious than on this album, a collection of songs regarding events of the year 1965. Very little was sacred from Lehrer's sharp wit, from racism to the Catholic Church, and, while much of his subject matter has become outdated, his shrewd comic talents are beyond ... see all copies from $6.00! new only from $11.11!
7	Why Is There Air? (1965) more music like this by Bill Cosby As the comedian's star continued to ascend, Bill Cosby's third long-player, 1965's Why Is There Air?, became his first to crack the Top 20. Family-friendly humor -- along with increased exposure on the mid-'60s TV talk and variety show circuit -- gave Cosby an edge that many of his contemporaries weren't privy to. Captured live at the Flamingo ... see all copies from $5.76! new only from $7.99!
8	I Started Out as a Child (1964) more music like this by Bill Cosby By sidestepping racial humor and the "sick" comedy of Lenny Bruce, Bill Cosby was able to reach a wide audience through keen and endearing portraits of his Philadelphia childhood. And even though he mostly bypassed civil rights issues in the '60s, Cosby, in many ways, was still able to de-stigmatize black culture by presenting his story without ... see all copies from $6.24! new only from $9.55!
9	A Wild and Crazy Guy (1978) more music like this by Steve Martin "Repeat after me. I promise to be different! I promise to be unique! I promise not to repeat things other people tell me to repeat!" This is Steve Martin in action. He says something somewhat pseudo-intellectual followed by something silly, observation of the moment in tow. Throughout the Wild & Crazy Guy compilation, Steve Martin continuously ... see all copies from $1.99! new only from $11.11!
10	Revenge (1967) more music like this by Bill Cosby With a hit TV show, numerous variety and talk show appearances, regular stints in some of the more upscale nightclubs around the country, and five long-players in under three years, there didn't seem to be such as thing as too much Bill Cosby in the mid-'60s. The material here returns Cosby to familiar territory, with the storyteller reminiscing ... see all copies from $5.59! new only from $9.60!
11	Bill Cosby Is a Very Funny Fellow Right! (1963) more music like this by Bill Cosby Those who only know Bill Cosby as an '80s television star and product pitchman don't know how truly funny and edgy he used to be when he first started out. Bill Cosby Is a Very Funny Fellow is his first album, and it's as good a place to start as any, with the "Noah" trilogy included. A story about the free entertainment on New York subways, a ... see all copies from $3.71! new only from $5.65!
12 view cover	Big Bambu (1972) more music like this by Cheech & Chong For their second full-length album in a single year, fast-rising comedy duo Cheech & Chong merely refined the amazingly successful formula of their debut, which had translated their popular stage act to vinyl with greater success than anyone could have predicted. Kick-started by the chaotic schoolroom classic "Sister Mary Elephant" skit -- an ... see all copies from $9.23! new only from $9.48!
13 view cover	Songs & More Songs by Tom Lehrer (1997) more music like this by Tom Lehrer Tom Lehrer recorded rather sporadically starting in the 1950s then abruptly retired in the mid-'60s from his unique solo musical comedy act. He's a competent pianist with a voice that is perfect for his original material. This compilation combines both of his records that were originally pressed and sold privately on the Lehrer label, which he ... see all copies from $7.72! new only from $9.55!
14 view cover	The Remains of Tom Lehrer (2000) more music like this by Tom Lehrer Rhino's three-disc box set The Remains of Tom Lehrer presents 75 tracks from the satirist's four decade career. The first disc concentrates on Lehrer's studio output, including pieces from his 1953 debut Songs by Tom Lehrer and his 1959 album More of Tom Lehrer, as well as a 1996 version of "I Got It from Agnes" and "That's Mathematics," a ... see all copies from $44.61! new only from $44.61!
15 view cover	Occupation: Foole (1973) more music like this by George Carlin Occupation Foole was comedian George Carlin's third release for the Little David label in 1973 and the follow up to Class Clown. While this disc as a whole lives up to Carlin's insightful brilliance, it's the least powerful of his early releases. Some of these bits, especially the revamped "Seven Dirty Words" routine, "Filthy Words," come across ... see all copies from $7.58!
16 view cover	Running With Scissors (1999) more music like this by "Weird Al" Yankovic Like many of Weird Al's 1990s albums, Running With Scissors is something of a mixed bag, although devoted fans will definitely find enough of interest to add it to their collections. As usual, the highlights tend to be song parodies: "The Saga Begins" is a retelling of Star Wars Episode I: The Phantom Menace from Obi-Wan Kenobi's point of view set ... see all copies from $7.49! new only from $12.69!
17 view cover	Rough Around the Edges: Live from Madison Square Garden (2007) more music like this by Dane Cook It takes a very funny man to sell out Madison Square Garden, and standup superstar Dane Cook -- his Hollywood career notwithstanding -- is a funny man of the highest caliber. He's crass, observant, clever, and handsome, wooing women even as he commiserates with their boyfriends over explicit topics like condoms, sexual diseases, and modernized ... see all copies from $8.24! new only from $12.03!
18 view cover	Bill Cosby "Himself" (1982) more music like this by Bill Cosby Bill Cosby "Himself," the soundtrack to the movie of the same name, features such classic Cosby routines as "The Dentist," "Natural Childbirth," and "Same Thing Happens Every Night." Without the visual distraction of Cosby's mugging -- which is either charming or clichéd, depending on your point of view -- his total mastery of his art comes into ... see all copies from $1.99! new only from $8.66!
19 view cover	Pete Seeger's Greatest Hits [2002] (2002) more music like this by Pete Seeger "Greatest Hits," as Seeger himself wryly wrote in his liner notes, is a misnomer considering that he never had hit singles or huge-selling albums as a solo artist, though actually "Little Boxes" (included here) made the lower reaches of the charts. In reality this 1967 compilation (since reissued on CD) collects the most popular tracks of his 1962 ... see all copies from $10.92! new only from $10.92!
20 view cover	A Place for My Stuff! (1981) more music like this by George Carlin After taking some time off to get his life together, George Carlin came back with A Place for My Stuff!, a combination of live material and some that had been recorded in the studio (fake announcements, commercials, and interviews). The live standup bits are among the best he's done, though there is a definite nasty edge to some of it (notably the ... see all copies from $8.00! new only from $9.20!
21 view cover	The Best of Bill Cosby (1969) more music like this by Bill Cosby Anyone who has the first six Cosby standup records will have all of this material already covered, but The Best of Bill Cosby is nonetheless a pretty good introduction. The choice of material reinforces the fact that in the early days Cosby was inventive and wasn't content to roll around in the clichés of husband versus wife, instead telling ... see all copies from $4.99! new only from $11.11!
22 view cover	To Russell, My Brother, Whom I Slept With (1968) more music like this by Bill Cosby After issuing the music-oriented efforts Silver Throat: Bill Cosby Sings and Bill Cosby Sings Hooray for the Salvation Army Band! in 1967, comedian Bill Cosby returned to standup on the following year's To Russell, My Brother, Whom I Slept With. Unlike his earlier comedy recordings -- which found Cosby in the comparatively intimate confines of a ... see all copies from $4.99! new only from $9.55!
23 view cover	Toledo Window Box (1974) more music like this by George Carlin The cover on this one tells you pretty much all you need to know about the dominant subject material here -- drugs. The beginning of the album dwells fairly directly on the subject (you'll never look at the Seven Dwarves the same way again), but much of the rest of the album's material draws heavily from stoner culture; it's hard to imagine ... see all copies from $9.55! new only from $9.55!
24 view cover	Sheik Yerbouti (1979) more music like this by Frank Zappa In order to finance his artier excursions, which increasingly required more expensive technology, Frank Zappa recorded several collections of guitar- and song-oriented material in the late '70s and early '80s, which generally concentrated on the bawdy lyrical themes many fans had come to expect and enjoy in concert. Sheik Yerbouti (two LPs, one CD ... see all copies from $9.27! new only from $15.28!
25 view cover	I'm Telling You for the Last Time (1998) more music like this by Jerry Seinfeld Given Jerry Seinfeld's longtime popularity, it's surprising that I'm Telling You for the Last Time is his first comedy album; taped during a brief run on Broadway during early August of 1998. The record is the final document of the famous routines which originally shot him to fame on the club circuit -- classic material he retired permanently at ... see all copies from $8.66! new only from $8.66!
