Stand-up comedy on DVD?
Can anyone suggest some good DVDs of this sort? Either in terms of the set itself (or more than one set, however many people are on it) and special features and the such.
Thanks!
Thanks!

Kevin James: Sweat The Small Stuff
Jim Breuer Hardcore
Almost any George Carlin DVD. I've enjoyed the Double Feature one.
Jerry Seinfeld: I'm telling You For The Last Time

Dave Chappelle: Killing them Softly
Chris Rock: Bring the Pain
Robin Williams: Live on Broadway
Jerry Seinfeld: Im Telling you for the Last Time
Chris Rock: Bigger and Blacker
these are really good. The Kevin James CC Presents might be good...but isn't it roughly 20 minutes long? Or is there extra footage? I cannot justify purchasing any of the CC Presents DVDs for 15 bucks if it just the footage from the Cable broadcast...Especially when all the ones I mentioned are 1 hour long, more funny, and UNDER 15 bucks.

I own:
Robin Williams Live on Broadway
Jerry Seinfeld: Im Telling you for the Last Time
Both are great but I prefer Jerry. I just bought Robin Williams DVD a few nights ago. There are funny parts but it's still not as good as Jerry.

And that's a hilarious 45 minutes for the James special. I remember CC offering it on DVD a while back when it first aired, but this looks like a good pick-up, although $18 for it is a little steep for me.
Speaking of CC, wouldn't it be great to see them start releasing CC Presents on DVD? Just think, Jim Gaffigan, Tom Papa, Stephen Lynch, Louis Ramey, and so many more!

Gotta put in a plug for the late, great Sam Kinison. His DVD of "Breaking the Rules" is hilarious. The later "Family Entertainment Hour" featured a fatter, more pathetic Sam, but still funny as hell:

Margaret Cho is currently my favorite stand up facial expressions and timing is just on key...she has two DVDs out "I'm the one that I want" and "Notorious C.H.O" Out of the two of them I prefer the latter. She does deal a lot with sexuality focusing more on "gay" issues but she also focuses on self-image, racism, and the natural hilarious hypocracies in society. I also second Ellen's "The Beginning" and Jerry Seinfeld's "I'm Telling you for the last Time". I guess it all depends on taste...
