Stand-up Comedy Suggestions?
Looking for some recommendations for stand-up comedy DVDs. I only own a couple thus far:
Jerry Seinfeld - I'm Telling You for the Last Time
Dave Chappelle - Killin' Them Softly
David Cross - Let America Laugh (not really stand-up, but close enough)
I'm already planning on getting Margaret Cho's stuff, as well as the Mitch Hedberg DVD that's out. Any other suggestions?

Dane Cook - Harmful if Swallowed
It's a two-disc set, with a CD of one of his shows and a DVD of four of his appearances, including an hour-long uncensored Comedy Central Presents. He is extrememely manic and very funny.
Eddie Izzard - Circle
Very funny show, and the disc is loaded with extra material. Commentary on a stand-up can be pretty interesting.

DVD Talk Hero
I second the recommendation for Bill Hicks if you can do region 2. 
And although it's not really stand up, I found An Evening with Kevin Smith very funny. He tells some hilarious stories. Highly recommended.

I'd say Steve Martin or Eddie Murphy...but sadly I can't. They have yet to be released on DVD. For now George Carlin or even Bill Cosby.
