I've heard Comedian, that's funny!

I'll have to check out Steve Martin.

I've not heard enough to have a favorite.

Steve Martin almost doesn't do jokes. His material is so stupid, but it's brilliant and surreal at the same time.

That one rocks too.

Sweeny79 said:

I love Carlin's stand-up material.

TMPletz said:

I did up until maybe 2 - 3 years ago... he was always bitter....but lately wow....he's just too dark.

Anx said:

That I wanna hear.

Sweeny79 said:

it's a crime that it's out of print, but there's a DVD/film version of it which is only slightly different, and it's still in print. the film version is great, but the album is so much better. i don't think sandra's done anything as good since "without you i'm nothing".

Paul Moonie or Richard Pryor.....

I think I've seen this thread before. I like these two:

Woody Allen

david cross's "it's not funny" and sarah silverman's "jesus is magic" are both way funny too, though i don't know that i'd say "funniest of all time". the test of time will tell...

Anx said:

both of david cross' albums are great!

Mitch Hedberg was great:

kidelrich said:

yeah, but sometimes david cross can get a little pander-y to his audience. he is to indie rawk college boys as margaret cho is to the gays. i think i like sarah silverman a little more for this reason, because she pisses EVERYONE off.

My parents used to have a lot of comedy recrods when I was a kid. I remember a lot of Alan Sherman and the Smothers Brothers and Bill Cosby records.
I don't think I've listened to a comedy album since then, though.

You should! They are great on long car trips

Richard Pryor - 'Is it Something I Said?'

I rarely like comedy in music and I don't think I could listen to a complete album of joviality. I like some humorous songs, 'Vindaloo' by Fat Les is one I used to detest but it's grown on me. 'Always Look On The Bright Side Of Life' is a classic too.

Now that's funny!

Anx said:

i think sarah silverman's standup is funnier because it's less liberal politics and more funny. But her movie isn't as good as Cross' albums. So there.
