Favourite comedy albums? Yours?

What's Hot
CaseOfAceCaseOfAce Frets: 1067
in Off Topic
These are my go-to's on Spotify:

Doug Stanhope - Beer Hall Putsch - it's a shame Sicko isn't available but of the 4 remaining albums on Spotify thankfully his best is still on here.

Morgan Murphy - Irish Goodbye

Bobcat Goldthwait - I don't mean to insult you... - the guy with the funny voice from the Police Academy movies turns out to be a hell of a stand up comedian.
Just like a headless horse without a horse.

    I think the only one I've ever owned/listened to was Hedgehog Sandwich which was excerpts from Not The Nine O'clock News. So will have to be that. 
    I’ll handle this Violet, you take your three hour break.

    I liked Snuff's one that was all punk advert covers.

    Shirehorses first album and pretty much anything by Half Man Half Biscuit. There's a few Billy Connolly I like too.

    Painters and Dockers and Tenacious D have honourable mentions.

    Kaiser Chiefs and Goldie Looking Chain were quite funny.
    Don't think I've ever heard any "Comedy Albums".

    Neil's Heavy Concept Album. But calling it comedy really does it a diservice given the alumni of Canterbury legends who make an appearence. It's a Dave Stewart album in all but name. If you haven't heard it, it's brilliant.

    None of them. A comedy album sounds horrendous, plus something that probably lived and died in the 70s.

    I've been thinking about revisiting the Billy connolly stuff again recently actually. 

    So good! 


    My mate had some jasper carrot stuff I remember laughing at.

    The only one I've ever listened to, with the (in)famous 7 Words You Can't Say on TV (which was why I listened to it)

    Derek and Clive.
    What goes up- air traffic control comedy by David Gunson. Laughed at it with my dad so has fond memories for me.
    Hasn't aged too well 



    Oh, and easily way too much Cheech and Chong.

    Meaning just comedy talking? None.

    But I love Captain Lockheed and the Starfighters. Funny concept album?

    For those of a 'certain age', Peter Sellars, 'The Best of Sellars', or if you can find it, 'Fool Britannia'.

    I was thinking that nobody would have heard of Blaster Bates and his brilliant tales - then I saw you mention it - a classic from when I was just a lad.  I seem to recall the shower being about 3 tons, somewhere over Sandbach.

    An old favourite is Grandad Piggot, but you have to be from Stoke to get him.

    I thought the OP meant comedy music albums.

    Still have the 2nd Derek & Clive LP....a Bob Newhart one with "Introducing Tobacco To Civilisation" which I still laugh at, and 6 or 7 Firesign Theater albums.
    I sold "Sir Henry at Ndidi's Krall" by Viv Stanshall.

    Comedy albums never endure for me in the same way that music ones do; I think the repetition of the joke stops it being funny whereas a good piece of music retains its allure.

    I think the closest I have to a comedy album is probably the Jungle Book soundtrack, so that.

    Blaster Bates did loads of albums I think. I remember listening to a few. He had a brown van called the Flying Shite. I also vaguely remember a story called Pork Pies at the Crem.

    I don't know, but I think Zappa's as close as I get to owning any comedy albums.

    Spinal Tap-Break Like The Wind
    Max Boyce- Live At Treorchy, although he's also cracking folk/songwriter and I also enjoy that side, he mixes the comedy with the folk music quite well (some of it hasnt aged so well but thats true of lots of stuff)

    Another vote for the Bonzos.   Neil Innes... "Ladies and Gentlemen...  I've suffered for my music.  Now it's your turn."
