Melinda Hill: Inappropriate

Melinda Hill Inappropriate Comedy Dynamics, A Nacelle Company Melinda Hill’s latest comedy album (and it’s available to watch on Apple TV) is bold and funny and deep – and speaks to her development as a joke-writer and deliverer, but also arrives at exactly the right time.

Jim Gaffigan: Quality Time

Jim Gaffigan Quality Time Comedy Dynamics, A Nacelle Company I wonder these days what the need is for a “Comedy Album” – given that we are inundated with Netflix specials; you can just watch those without really watching them for the album experience; you can put your headphones on and walk around with Netflix on […]

David Cross  Oh, Come On Comedy Dynamics, A Nacelle Company  I’ve been listening to David Cross stand-up CDs since I was first sent a review-sample back in the early 00s. That was on Sub Pop and was fascinating to me for some reason – also I recognised Cross’ face and voice from his various cameos at that point and what […]

Maria Bamford: 20%

Maria Bamford 20% Comedy Central Maria Bamford is a hard-working comedian – she might try her best to deny it, suggesting her with her latest comedy album that she’s only running at a fifth of her capability – but the yards are there in the rear-view mirror. And in a year or two where she’s […]

Louis CK: Live at the Comedy Store

Louis CK Live At The Comedy Store louisck.net Louis CK’s latest special is an hour of brand new material – developed at the smaller clubs, bits and pieces he’s pulled together possibly after doing his main set elsewhere.

Louis CK: Live At The Comedy Store

Louis CK: Live At The Comedy Store Director: Louis CK louisck.net Louis CK returns with his latest comedy special, an hour of new material – by now among the many things he’s known and revered for is the fact that he turns around new material year in, year out. He won’t go on the road […]

Andy Kaufman: Andy And His Grandmother

Andy Kaufman Andy And His Grandmother 1-2-3-4-GO!/Drag City/Process Media Obviously it’s fitting that Andy Kaufman’s debut comedy album (posthumous, or is it? – wink wink) is unlike most other comedy albums and is arguably an anti-comedy album since, of course, he was unlike most other comedians and more often/more likely an anti-comedian. This 48 minute […]
