Do You Believe in Gosh?(more) »rank: 306by: Mitch Hedberg
Our review: :Recorded two months prior to his death, this album contains nearly forty minutes of previously unreleased stand-up material. It pulses with Mitch's inimitable wit and spirit, it's a document of a comedy master, and it's a treat for all those who were afraid they'd never get to hear another great Hedberg joke. Detail |

Dr. Demento Presents: Greatest Christmas Novelty CD(more) »rank: 432from: Rhino / Wea
Our review: :The title might be immodest, but it's accurate. Just about every holiday song parody and comedy sketch you can imagine is jimmied onto this hilarious, sprawling collection. While you'll find a smattering of well-known Christmas wackiness (including 'Grandma Got Run over by a Reindeer' and the Singing Dogs' 'Jingle Bells'), the Doctor's specialty is unearthing the obscure, such as Wild Man Fischer's weirder-than-weird 'I Am a Christmas Tree.' You'll never listen to 'The 12 Days of Christmas' quite the same way after hearing the spins put on the tale by both Allan Sherman and Bob and Doug McKenzie, and you're likely to check ... Detail |

The Best of Bill Cosby(more) »rank: 672by: Bill Cosby
Our review:Album Description:The comic genius of Bill Cosby transcends age, race, passing trends, and every other imaginable boundary line.

Beyond the Pale(more) »rank: 1257by: Jim Gaffigan
Our review:Album Description:Gaffigan is considered a true triple threat, having achieved major milestones in stand-up, acting, and writing. Under the white guy 'everyman' exterior lurks one of the cleverest original comedians of today. An established star in stand-up comedy and a frequent guest on Letterman and Conan, Gaffigan is a noted actor as well, from comedic turns in 'Super Troopers' 'That 70's Show', and 'Sex And The City' to dramatic roles in dozens of films and TV dramas. But here, his unique persona takes over - cantankerous but endearing, clean but cutting, with an irrepressible 'inside voice' that keeps wickedly popping out - to ... Detail |
I Started Out as a Child(more) »rank: 1228by: Bill Cosby
Our review: :Here's a slice of Cosby before he became a major television star. At this point in time, the main appeal of I Started Out as a Child is its innocence. Recorded live at a Chicago club in 1964, the disc is a product of a now-quaint American scene, as yet untouched by the radical social changes that were just around the corner. Cosby pulls in the listener by introducing his only mildly humorous stories in a warm, intimate tone. Then he switches to using a variety of animated voices and vocal sound effects to get laughs from a responsive audience. If you want ... Detail |
