Give me some good live comedy stuff!

[Asuka's Gonna Kill You]

Yeah so I'm looking for some new comedy stuff. Hopefully stuff I can find cheap on E-Bay too.

I'd rather it be black comedy too, no real reason, just that I need and want to see some more. I'm looking for stuff that is quite like anything Chris Tucker does live and also that show Martin Lawrence did live a few years back about home truths, which rules majorly. Also, I'd rather it not be Def Comedy Jam, as I've seen most of them already. If anyone knows any good live Chris Tucker shows, they'll do perfect, as I've only ever seen him in Def Comedy Jam.

Hopefully someone can help me out here, just try give me hints at stuff around that area that rules quite a lot

Fuck black comedy. Go listen to Bill Hicks.

Good answer. If it has to be black, go with Richard Pryor.

[Turbo Yannis]

Even though he isn't black, go find as much Ross Noble as you can.

Seconded, although it is about as far from Def Comedy Jam as you can get, so if that's the only kind of thing you really find funny, be wary.

Eddie Murphy RAW is one of the funniest things I've ever seen. Try getting your hands on the Spike Lee documentary Original Kings of Comedy - that's funny as fuck and has Steve Harvey, DL Hughley, Bernie Mac and Cedric the Entertainer. Bernie Mac is hilarious.

As for other stand-ups, try Bill Hicks and Sam Kinnison. Both make me wet myself.

Maybe it's just me, but I think Bill Bailey is hilarious.

Also, I'll throw my cause behind Ross Noble and Bill Hicks.

[Different Cloud]

Peter Kay?

[Steeb]

Bill Bailey. That's all you need to know.

Although Ross Noble, Al Murray, Lee Evans and Phil Jupitus are all worth checking out too.

[ACCBiggz]

Bill Cosby's stand up is hilarious...

Actually, I'll also (after SSTB recommended him) recommend Al Murray, as he is hilarious

[Besmirched Tea]

My favorite in recent times is Mitch Hedberg, but he only had a couple of cd's and a dvd out before he died. He's like a stoned Steven Wright.

[Enter Blue Guy]

Get the Chris Rock "Roll With The New" CD. Personally, I like it better than anything else he has ever done. It's hilarious as fuck. I still laugh at it even though I've had it for quite a few years.

Niggers vs. Black People is my favorite stand up comedy bit of all time.

Dave Chappelle has a couple of standup DVDs out there. The one he did on HBO in 2000 in DC is the better one IMO.

Can't go wrong with Chris Rock either.

[Skummy]

Bill Bailey - Live In New York is awesome, as is Bewilderment (an album of parodies and funny songs).

←

As far as Bill Bailey albums go, The Best Bill Bailey Album In The World Ever > Bewilderment.

[NobBe Nobbs]

I notice a disturbing lack of Ricky Gervais anywhere in this thread. Pick up his Politics show if you can, as I preferred that to Animals.

[probablyoliver]

Fuck black comedy. Go listen to Bill Hicks.

I want to emphasise this. Lots.

And Noble, Noble is pretty much the funniest guy I've ever seen.

Oooh, Oooh, Dylan Moran: Monsters, I've been watching that the last few days and it is extremely funny.

[Skummy]

Add Eddie Izzard to the Ross Noble and Bill Bailey love, as he's pretty much the precursor to them both.
