I recently picked up these....


These are the only comedy albums I have. I saw Flip Wilson's album on the used section,,,I might come back and check it out.

Whats your FAVE comedy albums? Give a sis some recommendations

Boohoo By Voltaire
Devil's Briss By Voltaire..

One of the sweetest people i know. The Amazing and talented and World Reknowned Varla Jean Merman!!!

Keep it coming, ya'll

There's an album by Flip Wilson under his female alter-ego "Geraldine" with her wearing a yellow dress. I couldn't find that album anywhere....

It was credited @ the begining of Chris Rock's Bring The Pain HBO special.

Craps -- Richard Pryor: His "after hours" bit (a variant appears on SuperNigger) is in my mind, hands down, the greatest standup bit of all time.



Be-Be's Kids -- Robin Harris: Gone before his time, he's still hilarious. His joke about the Lakers and the Clippers kills.



Eddie Murphy -- Eddie Murphy: Getting hit by a car in Brooklyn will never be funnier to me.

Delirious , right?

That was Eddie's finest hour IMO. He took a hell of a stab on Stevie Wonder

stevie wonder ... u wanna impress me ? GRAB THE STEERING WHEEL MOTHERFUCKER!

I feel so guilty laughing about this shit,,,,but the way he said it

Good thread. For me, ALL of Richard's albums are the greatest EVER. No one can begin to touch Pyror. Also, I favor Cheech & Chong's albums as well. This was BEFORE their break into films.

Rudy Ray Moore



...Dolomite, Petey Wheatstraw, Signifying Monkey, etc.

"DOLOMITE"
Rudy Ray Moore



...Dolomite, Petey Wheatstraw, Signifying Monkey, etc.

"Way down in the jungle deep,
The bad ass lion stepped on the signifyin monkey's feet.
The monkey said, "Muthafucka, can't you see?
Why, you standin on my goddamn feet!"

I love that one to death. His first. The pope runnin over people.

Harlepolis said:

I think it was the album before Delirious, which had most of its material from his 2d album. I think.

Daddy loved himself some Dick Gregory



He's the ultimate conspiracy theorist comedian(Thats why you never hear much of him and Gill-Scott Heroin). He was bald enough to stand up in front of Malcolm X and say to his face that "Elijah Mohammed was a pimp" backstage @ the apollo.

Malcolm said in his book, something like "my muslim instinct told me to attack him. But I couldn't,,,the brother was telling the truth".

I enjoy anything from George Carlin. The man is right on 99% of the time. I also enjoy many Cheech and Chong and Chris Rock too.

...featuring Jimmy Page, John Bonham & Jeff Beck.

Good one CB!

iconsweat said:

Was this the one where Eddie also does some mean impersonation of James Brown..still laughing at the gag.

The only thing about his concerts is that he should have cooled it on the gay jokes, especially with the rumours and allegations that surface in later years.

I laugh my ass off to this one

peace

.....good one.

My uncle has a nice collection of LaWanda Page, Melvin "Slappy" White,Redd Foxx, Moms Mabley & Pigmeat and Markham.

whatsgoingon said:

I think Delerious was the same as this lp--Comedian. I loved this one, also:

Lets Get Small
Wild & Crazy Guy--Steve Martin

An Evening With Wally Londo Featuring Bill Slaszo--George Carlin. Maybe not his best album, but takes me back
