Best Stand-up comedy DVD's?
Looking to get some new stand-up dvds (great for parties).

I currently own Chris Rock's "Never Scared" and "Bigger & Blacker"

I love both of them. I also really like Mitch Hedberg.

Any other suggestions would be appreciated!

How do you have Bigger and Blacker and Never Scared but not Bring the Pain? Buy Chris Rock - Bring the Pain. Also try Eddie Murphy - Raw.

Thanks... I'll grab Bring the Pain, and maybe RAW. I've heard from friends it's not as good as the hype though.

the mitch hedberg dvd... does anyone know if that's a cd with playtable dvd features, or if it's a dvd. i dont want it if it's a cd that comes in a cd case.

I like everybody listed above and also Jim Brewer:Hardcore. I think he does better stand-up than the work he did on SNL.

Another vote for,

Dave Chappelle - Killing Them Softly

as well as David Cross' "Let America Laugh" (beware not all stand up though - more of a docu.)

Can't believe it's not been mentioned yet, but:
Denis Leary - No Cure for Cancer
Although I believe the DVD was supposed to have been released I'm pretty sure I read it was delayed... too lazy to look up the thread.

In any case this is my favorite stand up of all time.

This is out! It's part of a DVD called "The Complete Denis Leary." It contains NCFC and another stand-up special (Lock 'N Load), and some bonuses like the video for The Asshole Song. Street price is under $15.

Dane Cook - Harmful If Swallowed CD/DVD is awesome!

He is very under-rated!

No one mentioned George Carlin? He can be truly amazing. The guy's 67, and he's still doing monologues like this without a hitch.
