1	The Button-Down Mind Strikes Back (1960) more music like this by Bob Newhart With his debut comedy album riding high on the album charts, Bob Newhart was quick to follow up with The Button-Down Mind Strikes Back, which was released later the same year. For the most part, it follows the patented Newhart style, being one half of a conversation or someone addressing a crowd. On this second collection, there is only one ... see all copies from $4.49! new only from $11.39!
2	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 $2.98! new only from $9.20!
3	Springtime for Liberals (2007) more music like this by Capitol Steps With the Democrats' landslide win of both the Senate and the House in the 2006 elections, it was only natural that it would be a prominent theme for the next Capitol Steps album. Mel Brooks' "Springtime for Hitler" (from The Producers) provides a perfect launching pad for the amusing "Springtime for Liberals" to introduce the complete, gloating ... see all copies from $7.95! new only from $13.20!
4	Something Like This: The Bob Newhart Anthology (2001) more music like this by Bob Newhart It's a testament to Bob Newhart's considerable talents that his TV shows, particularly his '70s classic The Bob Newhart Show, overshadowed his comedy records which were trailblazers in their own accord. His first album, The Button Down Mind of Bob Newhart, became the first comedy album to ever reach the top of the charts, and it did so in 1960, ... see all copies from $13.67! new only from $17.24!
5	The Carnegie Hall Performance (2006) more music like this by Lewis Black Given the string of troubling events that transpired in the United States in 2005, those who speak with mousy voices but still retain a high level of anger can be thankful that there's a man who shrieks constantly at the top of his lungs about those events, shredding his vocal tissue to it's thinnest: Lewis Black. This edition of Black's series of ... see all copies from $9.45! new only from $12.56!
6	...And It's Deep, Too!: The Complete Warner Bros. Recordings (1968-1992) (2000) more music like this by Richard Pryor Although some might give the nod to Andy Kaufman, Richard Pryor was arguably the most important, influential, and groundbreaking standup comic in America during the latter half of the '70s. Pryor's brilliantly perceptive, confrontational dissections of racial injustice paved the way for countless African-American comedians to tackle similar ... see all copies from $53.25! new only from $97.32!
7	The First Complete Family (2007) more music like this by Various Artists see all copies from $17.10! new only from $17.10!
8	Let the Buyer Beware (2004) more music like this by Lenny Bruce Let the Buyer Beware is an extraordinary six-disc CD box set packed with unreleased performances, interviews, phone conversations, and various other private recordings of Lenny Bruce. The project was lovingly compiled by Lenny's daughter Kitty and music producer Hal Willner with assistance from the estate of the late Marvin Worth, who produced ... see all copies from $25.70! new only from $25.70!
9	...Is It Something I Said? (1975) more music like this by Richard Pryor With this 1975 comedy album, Richard Pryor firmly established himself as a unique, and hilariously funny, presence within the comedy world. Whether poking fun at his own cocaine addiction or discussing the problem of racism that exists in America, on ...Is It Something I Said? Pryor is able to be eloquent and ultimately insightful without ... see all copies from $3.46! new only from $5.65!
10	Carnegie Hall Concert (1961) more music like this by Lenny Bruce Lenny Bruce's legendary Carnegie Hall concert from 1961 was originally released as a 40-minute album in the '60s and was replaced in the '70s by a complete triple-LP set. In 1995, it was released on two CDs. In any format, the concert demonstrates what an intelligent and viciously funny talent Bruce was. Stephen Thomas Erlewine, All Music Guide see all copies from $15.14! new only from $20.73!
11 view cover	Flying Saucer Tour, Vol. 1 (2002) more music like this by Bill Hicks If to be great is to be misunderstood, then Bill Hicks certainly must have had plenty of evenings such as the one documented on Flying Saucer Tour, Vol. 1 during his too-brief life. With track titles such as "Worst Audience Ever" and "Vs. the Audience" offering a hint of the material contained on this album, Hicks finds himself facing a Pittsburgh ... see all copies from $3.74! new only from $10.70!
12 view cover	Luther Burbank Performing Arts Center Blues (2005) more music like this by Lewis Black The year 2004 provided plenty of reasons for nearly any thinking person to go off on an angry rant, which is good news if you happen to be a fan of comedian Lewis Black, who has raised the venomous screed to the level of high art. Recorded in the summer of 2004, Luther Burbank Performing Arts Center Blues documents Black hilariously going off on ... see all copies from $4.31! new only from $7.94!
13 view cover	Rules of Enragement (2003) more music like this by Lewis Black It's hard to get the full effect of Lewis Black's gloriously bitter comedy if you're only listening to him -- watching the man work himself up into a lather with jowls shaking, beads of spittle flying from his lips, and his eyes bulging from his sockets as if his head is about to burst open from sheer pent-up rage adds immeasurably to the effect ... see all copies from $9.50! new only from $11.46!
14 view cover	We Arm the World (1985) more music like this by Capitol Steps The Capitol Steps, a musical political satire group, was still a fairly new concept at the time this LP was released in 1986. This live recording was made in what is evidently a nightclub (the Artist's Room in Washington, D.C.). The vocals are fairly good, while the accompaniment consists of just a single pianist, without the electric keyboards ... see all copies from $8.98! new only from $13.30!
15 view cover	A Night at the Met (1986) more music like this by Robin Williams With Robin Williams at the cusp of what would become a very successful film career, A Night at the Met served as a kind of standup swan song for him. He had already made a considerable impression on the public, both as the lovable alien Mork and through his frenetically paced standup routines, but cocaine addiction threatened to derail his ... see all copies from $7.00! new only from $10.66!
16 view cover	The Lenny Bruce Originals, Vol. 1 (1991) more music like this by Lenny Bruce After being out of print, the Fantasy label compiled Lenny Bruce's late-'50s and 1960s platters onto compact discs for two volumes simply named The Lenny Bruce Originals (1991). The first installment gathers Interviews of Our Times (1958) and The Sick Humor of Lenny Bruce (1959), while the second serves up Togetherness (1960) and American (1961). ... see all copies from $6.99! new only from $10.35!
17 view cover	Papa's Got a Brand New Baghdad (2004) more music like this by Capitol Steps The Capitol Steps' musical political satire is in a class all by itself. Not only are their parodies brilliant, but also each of their members are incredible mimics of their targets. Democrats take their share of hits, particularly in the sidesplitting "Green Green Grass at Home" (discussing the probable marijuana use by most of the 2004 ... see all copies from $2.95! new only from $13.40!
18 view cover	The White Album (2000) more music like this by Lewis Black Funnyman Lewis Black works through a series of hilarious skits that apply a sarcastic, sometimes angry look at just how crazy American culture really is. Topics include Bill Clinton's oral sex shenanigans, how idiotic the Heaven's Gate cult was, and his experiences auditioning as himself for a television pilot. Rather than simply reveling in ... see all copies from $6.87! new only from $13.44!
19 view cover	Philosophy: The Best of Bill Hicks (2001) more music like this by Bill Hicks Once called "the Lenny Bruce of our generation," in this case such a label wasn't just hype. Having seen a few of Hicks' outrageously irreverent David Letterman appearances, he's even funnier on the recordings of his more unfettered club act, a rare comic in that the more profane he got (i.e., the more patently offensive to Middle American TV ... see all copies from $2.98! new only from $14.95!
20 view cover	Four More Years in the Bush Leagues (2005) more music like this by Capitol Steps The Capitol Steps are up to their usual tricks with this live CD, covering both world events and the 2004 presidential election. "Embraceable Jew" imagines a hilarious meeting of Israeli Prime Minister Ariel Sharon and new Palestinian leader Mahmoud Abbas. President George W. Bush takes plenty of lumps with "Someone Dumber Might," "If I Only Had a ... see all copies from $4.00! new only from $13.91!
21 view cover	I'm So Indicted (2006) more music like this by Capitol Steps As on their 25 earlier releases, the Capitol Steps leave none of their subjects unscathed as they lampoon politicians, world leaders, sports figures and more in this collection of live performances, most of which are written to the tunes of very familiar songs. Kevin Corbett is hilarious as President George W. Bush in "I'm So Indicted," while Mike ... see all copies from $10.69! new only from $13.20!
22 view cover	Rant in E-Minor (1997) more music like this by Bill Hicks Rant in E-Minor is the comedy equivalent of an Ingmar Bergman film. This posthumously released CD is so brutal, bitter, pessimistic, and honest that it is a very difficult task indeed to listen to it. Recorded most likely while he was going through chemotherapy for pancreatic cancer in 1993, Bill Hicks must have sensed the end was near for him. ... see all copies from $13.22! new only from $15.28!
23	That Nigger's Crazy (1974) more music like this by Richard Pryor Pryor's first truly funny album, after a series of standard stand-up recordings, finally brings together his social/racial/political observations, homespun tales, and vulgar rants. There are some hilarious bits here, particularly "Nigger With a Seizure," "Have Your Ass Home By 11:00," and "Exorcist." The foundation of the era's sharpest funnyman ... see all copies from $2.82! new only from $4.98!
24 view cover	Talk Is Cheap, Vol. 2 (2003) more music like this by Henry Rollins Round two of a two-night stand at the Enmore Theater in Sydney Australia finds the Ted Nugent of spoken word still efficiently burning off the metaphorical fuel and bile with more evident consistency than the first evening. Muses on the state of Australian politics, the Birthday Party, and a lengthy dissertation on the corporate rock emperors that ... see all copies from $8.61! new only from $10.76!
25 view cover	Relentless (1990) more music like this by Bill Hicks Bill Hicks was not your average comedian. Instead of just making jokes, he made jokes with a point to them. Relentless picks at many of the same issues he discussed on Dangerous, except this time, Hicks raises the spiritual and philosophical stakes considerably, as well as introducing his anti-capitalist stance (which he elaborates on more ... see all copies from $12.85! new only from $15.49!
