Comedy Albums

Okay, I know it isn't technically "music" but it's close enough. Anyone know of good comedy CDs? I never listened to one, so I am looking for suggestions as well as where I might get them.

Comedy albums are good for a listen, but unfortunately (for the artist) I don't think they are worth the price of admission. Afterall it isn't like a music cd that you will listen to a dozen times a week.

Fortunately for me, DVDtalk introduced me to lala.com. Now I can get my comedy cds for a buck fifty. Well worth it. I just received Dane Cook's latest a couple weeks ago. Yea lala!

I've listened to my Dane Cook and Jim Gaffigan cds more times than most of my music cds.

Back in the day, I wore out my cassette copy of Dennis Miller's Off White Album. I think it was the only cassette I ever wore out. I almost drove off the road one day listening to it, too.

Penn Jillette was right on with The Smothers Brothers. If you enjoy folk music and generally clean humor (musical humor), they can't be beat. I got tired of waiting for albums to come to cd, so I finally ripped my lps.

The two best comedy albums ever are "Shame-Based Man" and "The Drunk Baby Project", both by Bruce McCulloch of the Kids in the Hall.

I can't listen while driving, cause I lose it at a few of the jokes. Damn funny.
