1	Class Clown (1972) more music like this by George Carlin Comedian George Carlin's definitive monologue was delivered on 1972's Class Clown album in the form of "Seven Dirty Words You Can Never Say on Television." While the majority of routines on Class Clown dealt with Carlin's self examination surrounding his Irish Catholic upbringing, he saved his controversial tour de force as the album's grand ... see all copies from £6.31! new only from £7.80!
2	I Started Out as a Child (1964) more music like this by Bill Cosby By sidestepping racial humor and the "sick" comedy of Lenny Bruce, Bill Cosby was able to reach a wide audience through keen and endearing portraits of his Philadelphia childhood. And even though he mostly bypassed civil rights issues in the '60s, Cosby, in many ways, was still able to de-stigmatize black culture by presenting his story without ... see all copies from £5.74! new only from £8.07!
3	Revenge (1967) more music like this by Bill Cosby With a hit TV show, numerous variety and talk show appearances, regular stints in some of the more upscale nightclubs around the country, and five long-players in under three years, there didn't seem to be such as thing as too much Bill Cosby in the mid-'60s. The material here returns Cosby to familiar territory, with the storyteller reminiscing ... see all copies from £5.29! new only from £6.57!
4	Bill Cosby Is a Very Funny Fellow Right! (1963) more music like this by Bill Cosby Those who only know Bill Cosby as an '80s television star and product pitchman don't know how truly funny and edgy he used to be when he first started out. Bill Cosby Is a Very Funny Fellow is his first album, and it's as good a place to start as any, with the "Noah" trilogy included. A story about the free entertainment on New York subways, a ... see all copies from £3.48! new only from £3.60!
5	The Best of Bill Cosby (1969) more music like this by Bill Cosby Anyone who has the first six Cosby standup records will have all of this material already covered, but The Best of Bill Cosby is nonetheless a pretty good introduction. The choice of material reinforces the fact that in the early days Cosby was inventive and wasn't content to roll around in the clichés of husband versus wife, instead telling ... see all copies from £3.46! new only from £5.33!
6	Wonderfulness (1966) more music like this by Bill Cosby Bill Cosby cracked the Top Ten album chart with 1966's Wonderfulness, his fourth long-player in less than two years. This was indeed a sizable feat for a comedian during the height of the mid-'60s British Invasion, but not surprising in the case of Cosby. His exposure on the talk and variety television circuit of the mid-'60s had increased thanks ... see all copies from £5.26! new only from £8.07!
7	Sibling Rivalry: The Best of the Smothers Brothers (1998) more music like this by The Smothers Brothers Sibling Rivalry: The Best of the Smothers Brothers is a terrific, single-disc collection of 18 classic routines and songs the seminal comedy duo recorded between 1962 and 1965. There's no better compilation of the group's classic routines, and since most of the original albums are long out of print, this disc is the only way to acquire recordings ... see all copies from £6.80! new only from £6.80!
8	That Was the Year That Was (1965) more music like this by Tom Lehrer Tom Lehrer's work always had a biting, satirical edge to it, but never was this more obvious than on this album, a collection of songs regarding events of the year 1965. Very little was sacred from Lehrer's sharp wit, from racism to the Catholic Church, and, while much of his subject matter has become outdated, his shrewd comic talents are beyond ... see all copies from £5.57! new only from £7.62!
9	200 M.P.H. (1968) more music like this by Bill Cosby Another set recorded at Harrah's in Lake Tahoe, 200 M.P.H. is a bit more disjointed than previous efforts, a little bit more "groovy," and a little bit less heartwarming. There are a few battle of the sexes-type bits, and a battle of the pets number. Side two is taken up by a discussion of the world's fastest sports cars and Cosby's quest for ... see all copies from £5.36! new only from £9.33!
10	Beyond the Pale (2006) more music like this by Jim Gaffigan On the way to his 2006 release, everyman stand-up Jim Gaffigan worked the late night and comedy club circuits hard, building a sizeable, loyal fanbase along the way. They don't overlap much with the David Cross crowd but they're just as willing to drag you to a show or email you an MP3 of his brilliant "Hot Pockets" routine. Beyond the Pale ... see all copies from £8.27! new only from £8.27!
11 view cover	Something Like This: The Bob Newhart Anthology (2001) more music like this by Bob Newhart It's a testament to Bob Newhart's considerable talents that his TV shows, particularly his '70s classic The Bob Newhart Show, overshadowed his comedy records which were trailblazers in their own accord. His first album, The Button Down Mind of Bob Newhart, became the first comedy album to ever reach the top of the charts, and it did so in 1960, ... see all copies from £11.90! new only from £11.90!
12 view cover	A Place for My Stuff! (1981) more music like this by George Carlin After taking some time off to get his life together, George Carlin came back with A Place for My Stuff!, a combination of live material and some that had been recorded in the studio (fake announcements, commercials, and interviews). The live standup bits are among the best he's done, though there is a definite nasty edge to some of it (notably the ... see all copies from £6.69! new only from £6.69!
13 view cover	Button-Down Mind of Bob Newhart (1960) more music like this by Bob Newhart Though not the first standup comedian to release a live recording, Bob Newhart was probably the first to really capture the public's attention, thanks to this debut. Of the six pieces included on this album, five of them are set up as part of a conversation (usually by phone), something that became Newhart's trademark. The material here would have ... see all copies from £3.47! new only from £6.62!
14 view cover	Occupation: Foole (1973) more music like this by George Carlin Occupation Foole was comedian George Carlin's third release for the Little David label in 1973 and the follow up to Class Clown. While this disc as a whole lives up to Carlin's insightful brilliance, it's the least powerful of his early releases. Some of these bits, especially the revamped "Seven Dirty Words" routine, "Filthy Words," come across ... see all copies from £6.67! new only from £6.82!
15 view cover	A Wild and Crazy Guy (1978) more music like this by Steve Martin "Repeat after me. I promise to be different! I promise to be unique! I promise not to repeat things other people tell me to repeat!" This is Steve Martin in action. He says something somewhat pseudo-intellectual followed by something silly, observation of the moment in tow. Throughout the Wild & Crazy Guy compilation, Steve Martin continuously ... see all copies from £2.78! new only from £5.88!
16 view cover	Retaliation (2005) more music like this by Dane Cook Dane Cook's Retaliation is a fantastic combination of this hyper, cutting comedian's talents and the Comedy Central record label's fantastic attitude toward packaging. Here, fans get "100 minutes of new material" on the audio portion (new to CD anyway, as some of these routines are already Cook classics for bootleg-trading fans) and just about ... see all copies from £2.78! new only from £12.33!
17 view cover	What the Hell Happened to Me? (1996) more music like this by Adam Sandler Just one of many gifted comedians to emerge from Saturday Night Live's impressive early-'90s roster, Adam Sandler nevertheless defied cynics' expectations by moving on to an improbably long and successful post-SNL film career, where he proceeded to endlessly recycle his stunted man-child persona ad nauseam -- much to the delight of his captive ... see all copies from £2.78! new only from £11.37!
18 view cover	Bill Cosby "Himself" (1982) more music like this by Bill Cosby Bill Cosby "Himself," the soundtrack to the movie of the same name, features such classic Cosby routines as "The Dentist," "Natural Childbirth," and "Same Thing Happens Every Night." Without the visual distraction of Cosby's mugging -- which is either charming or clichéd, depending on your point of view -- his total mastery of his art comes into ... see all copies from £2.78! new only from £6.99!
19 view cover	Songs & More Songs by Tom Lehrer (1997) more music like this by Tom Lehrer Tom Lehrer recorded rather sporadically starting in the 1950s then abruptly retired in the mid-'60s from his unique solo musical comedy act. He's a competent pianist with a voice that is perfect for his original material. This compilation combines both of his records that were originally pressed and sold privately on the Lehrer label, which he ... see all copies from £6.80! new only from £6.80!
20 view cover	You Might Be a Redneck If... (1994) more music like this by Jeff Foxworthy You Might Be a Redneck If... encapsulates the humor of Jeff Foxworthy on a single disc. Essentially variations on the title phrase "You Might Be a Redneck If...," Foxworthy's jokes and simple but never crude. Like any comedy album, it appeals to a specific taste. If you find Foxworthy's repetitive jokes hilarious, you might be a fan. If you don't ... see all copies from £2.78! new only from £5.56!
21 view cover	A Prairie Home Companion With Garrison Keillor (2004) more music like this by Garrison Keillor For 30 years the folksy, common charm of Garrison Keillor has been delighting National Public Radio audiences and in turn building an audience with a fervor that borders on cult-like. His radio show, A Prairie Home Companion , has been a staple of weekend programming, and this disc captures the 30th anniversary special recorded at Keillor's home ... see all copies from £10.91! new only from £10.91!
22 view cover	The Button-Down Mind Strikes Back (1960) more music like this by Bob Newhart With his debut comedy album riding high on the album charts, Bob Newhart was quick to follow up with The Button-Down Mind Strikes Back, which was released later the same year. For the most part, it follows the patented Newhart style, being one half of a conversation or someone addressing a crowd. On this second collection, there is only one ... see all copies from £4.52! new only from £6.80!
23 view cover	Twisted Christmas (1992) more music like this by Bob Rivers Comedy Corp Battle the depression and anxiety of the holidays with Bob Rivers' rip-snortin' Twisted Christmas -- highlights like "Wreck the Malls," "Walkin' 'Round in Women's Underwear," "I Came Upon a Roadkill Deer," and "Teddy the Red-Nosed Senator" are all so hilarious you'll be shooting eggnog through your nose! Chuck Donkers, All Music Guide see all copies from £3.45! new only from £7.87!
24 view cover	Evening Wasted with Tom Lehrer (1959) more music like this by Tom Lehrer On Tom Lehrer's second studio album, he got a little more daring and biting, particularly on "Poisoning Pigeons in the Park," "The Masochism Tango," and "We Will All Go Together When We Go." Six years, after all, had elapsed since his 1953 debut, and social mores had loosened, if only a little. There's also one of his most well-known pieces, "It ... see all copies from £4.87! new only from £8.85!
25 view cover	Harmful If Swallowed (2003) more music like this by Dane Cook see all copies from £8.76! new only from £8.76!
