1	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!
2	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sacred from Lehrer's sharp wit, from racism to the Catholic Church, and, while much of his subject matter has become outdated, his shrewd comic talents are beyond ...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 $4.99! new only from $11.11!
3	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!
4	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!
5	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!
6	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 $5.45! new only from $9.55!
7	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 $11.23!
8	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 $6.79! new only from $9.55!
9	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 $5.65! new only from $5.65!
10	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 $9.20! new only from $9.20!
11 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!
12 view cover	Born Suspect (1991) more music like this by Chris Rock By the time Born Suspect came out, Chris Rock was practically a household name thanks to Saturday Night Live and a string of critically praised stand-up stints across the country. This album takes some of Rock's earliest material and only reveals a slight glimpse of things to come. All of the obvious attacks that have become so familiar in Rock's ... see all copies from $2.95! new only from $9.60!
13 view cover	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!
14 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 $9.75!
15 view cover	Have You Seen Me Lately? (1990) more music like this by Sam Kinison Sam Kinison's 1986 debut album Louder Than Hell was genius standup comedy. He was a loud, rude, unapologetically vulgar party animal -- and remarkably insightful. Kinison also earned small acting roles, most notably as the scene-stealing history professor in the Rodney Dangerfield movie Back to School. The former preacher had made a mark on pop ... see all copies from $1.99! new only from $1.99!
16 view cover	No Respect (1980) more music like this by Rodney Dangerfield Rodney Dangerfield's 1980 album No Respect features two of his monologues, "No Respect" and "Son of No Respect," both of which showcase the nervous, self-deprecating brand of humor that made him a star. Heather Phares, All Music Guide see all copies from $4.99! new only from $5.49!
17 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!
18 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 $8.58! new only from $15.02!
19 view cover	Harmful If Swallowed (2003) more music like this by Dane Cook see all copies from $7.88! new only from $14.47!
20 view cover	Circle (2003) more music like this by Eddie Izzard British comic Eddie Izzard is many things, not the least of which is wickedly funny. The fact that he dresses in drag has always been a bit of an anomaly in regard to his comedic material in that it has so little to do with his act. Mostly, it serves as a kind of comedic "shock and awe" strategy to force his audiences to lighten up. Which is why ... see all copies from $8.44! new only from $11.11!
21 view cover	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!
22 view cover	I Still Have a Pony (2007) more music like this by Steven Wright The reason it took deadpan, surreal, and cerebral comedian Steven Wright more than 20 years to release a follow-up to his supreme 1985 album, I Have a Pony, was that he knew that if he wanted to keep performing live he would have to have a third album's worth of material. After all, if you give his fans a recording, they'll listen to it repeatedly ... see all copies from $11.78! new only from $11.78!
23 view cover	You Are All Diseased (1999) more music like this by George Carlin As the years progress, George Carlin only gets angrier -- and, considering that the world is just getting more ridiculous, that may be the only response. Fortunately, his anger keeps him sharp, and that's why he's still fascinating and funny in 1999, when most of his peers have dried up. The key to his success is that he doesn't continue to ... see all copies from $11.11! new only from $11.11!
24 view cover	Evening Wasted with Tom Lehrer (1959) more music like this by Tom Lehrer On Tom Lehrer's second studio album, he got a little more daring and biting, particularly on "Poisoning Pigeons in the Park," "The Masochism Tango," and "We Will All Go Together When We Go." Six years, after all, had elapsed since his 1953 debut, and social mores had loosened, if only a little. There's also one of his most well-known pieces, "It ... see all copies from $4.99! new only from $11.11!
25 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 $10.75! new only from $11.78!
