In this special compilation, you'll hear exhilarating excerpts from classic interviews with 14 stars of comedy, including Tracey Ullman on her zany characters, Chris Rock on growing up small and black in a white neighborhood, Carol Leifer on the inspiration for her brand of cabaret comedy, and Henny Youngman on his famous line, "Take my wife, please."

Just another Southern boy coming of age story. The 60s and 70s were a magical time all across America. In the Deep South we did most of the same things kids across the country were doing but with a Southern drawl. Tales of school, bikes, fishing, hunting, Christmases, and even snow skiing of all things, fill the Mason jar of memories to the brim! When you grow tired of laughing there's even a bit of poetry for the more introspective. I hope you enjoy listening to these stories as much as I did living them. As Per Y'all's Requests...here it is.

Danny Wallace had been staying in. Far too much. Having been dumped by his girlfriend, he really wasn't doing the young, free and single thing very well. Instead he was avoiding people. Texting them instead of calling them. Calling them instead of meeting them. That is until one fateful date when a mystery man on a late-night bus told him to 'say yes more'. These three simple words changed Danny's life forever. Yes Man is the story of what happened when Danny decided to say YES to everything.

Bush to Brian Sewell, Posh n' Becks and Kirsty Wark.

Beginning on the 4th of July and running until New Year's Eve 2002, The Firesign Theatre returned to their natural home, radio. Commenting, in its uniquely surreal audio comedy style, on property, propriety, surety, security, and the state of the States for National Public Radio's flagship news program, All Things Considered, The Firesign Theatre reminded old fans (and taught new listeners) of the dynamic power of audio to entertain, inspire, and intrigue the soul. And, they made us laugh.

Named after Hitler's failed coup attempt, Beer Hall Putsch takes you into acerbic comic Doug Stanhope's twisted mind at a gig filmed in Portland.

It's hard to get the full effect of Lewis Black's gloriously bitter comedy if you're only listening to him. Watching the man work himself up into a lather with jowls shaking, beads of spittle flying from his lips, and his eyes bulging from his sockets as if his head is about to burst open from sheer pentup rage adds immeasurably to the effect of his barbed, pungent wit.
