Recommend good recent stand-up

[Howard Alan Treesong]

From like 2008+

I have 20 hours of driving coming up this weekend and I need my funny

[Mupepe]

Anything from Kevin James

[T-Short]

Audio only, then? If you don't have any problems with Glasgow scottish, you should get the latest (2010) Frankie Boyle show (the "If I Could Reach Out Through Your TV And Strangle You, I Would" DVD). Should be audiorips available. Otherwise shoot me a message and I'll rip it for you.

Jim Gaffigan's stuff is pretty good, dunno what he's done really recently or what you've heard.  You ever listened to Woody Allen's old stand-up stuff?  It's like his earlier, funnier movies.

[Madrun Badrun]

Not what you asked for but have you listened to I'm Sorry I'll Read That Again?

Louis CK - $5

Aziz Ansari - $5

What kind of stuff are you usually in to?

Following up on The Dandy's suggestion, I'm sure we could find you some BBC radio 4 comedy series you'd like if you'd be willing to go beyond just stand-up.

[Dickie Dee]

I remember The Daily Show and Colbert audiobooks being pretty good.

[Howard Alan Treesong]

We've heard the $5 Louis CK and Aziz Ansari sets already. Early Woody Allen is a good idea. I'd say we like: Louis CK, Patton Oswalt, David Cross,  David Sedaris audiobooks, old Richard Pryor and George Carlin of course.

I'm open to suggestions for interesting podcasts or humorous radio shows (I grabbed the BBC production of Dirk Gently) as long as they can be found easily.

[pilonv1]

Just get the Ricky Gervais/Stephen Merchant podcasts.

Joe Rogans podcast is awesome too but there's a lot of downtime

[Olivia Wilde Homo]

Anything other than David Sedaris and the Blue Collar Comedy Tour and you should be set.

There's a ridiculous amount of output from radio 4, but I'll limit myself to a couple that I know you can download from amazon. I can pass them along if you're feeling cheap though.

Saturday Night Fry is kind of like sketch show by Stephen Fry and he's joined each episode by some of his friends such as Hugh Laurie, Jim Broadbent, and Emma Thompson.


That Mitchell & Webb Sound is another sketch show from the guys who do Peep Show. If you've seen That Mitchell & Webb Look then you'll already be familiar with what it's like.

[Howard Alan Treesong]

oh, I'll look for Mitchell and Webb Sound - seen all the episodes plus Peep Show, sweet!

[BobFromPikeCreek]

Louis CK and that's about it.

[Human Snorenado]

David Cross had a stand-up special/album from 2010 if you don't have it already.  Bigger and Blackerer I think?

It's not as good as his older stuff 

[close]

[MyNameIsMethodis]

Get anything by Jim Norton or the late Patrice O'Neil. Both are comic geniouses.

Stephen Fry has such a dreamy voice. Could listen to him for hours

When Whose Line Is it Anyway started its life on Radio 4, Stephen Fry was one of the regulars. Generally speaking the show was pretty bad since they didn't have the format sorted, but the low-lights were definitely whenever Stephen had to sing, which was every damn episode.

[pilonv1]

I've just started watching all of the US Whose Line, I need to chase the UK ones down too.
