Flight of the Conchords (BBC Audio) What a little gem this is. I can't believe this passed me by (well it was on the radio so that's probably why). This is probably better than anything I have seen on TV for the last couple of years. I must admit that I haven't seen the HBO TV series and I'm not sure if I really want to because this is so good that I don't want to be disappointed. For those of you who don't know, Flight...    Read More >>

Tales from the Greek Legends (Junior Classics) Edward Ferrie I bought this for my son but have also enjoyed listening to it myself. The reader has a good reading voice (nothing like Julian Clary as another reviewer has suggested) and also does pronounce the names correctly - he uses the now generally accepted Heracles rather than Hercules and this has confused some people.    Read More >>

Transport of Delight: the Best of Flanders & Swann Flanders & Swann A reasonably-priced compilation featuring all their best; I purchased it for: Madeira M'dear The Gnu The gas man cometh The Hippopotamus Patriotic Prejudice There are some other gems on there, but the interspersed bits of stand-up are quickly tiring, and the subject matter of much of the satire has become obscure.    Read More >>

Something Like This Bob Newhart Something Like This... is a generous sampling of Bob Newhart's best stand-up bits. Part of what Bob Newhart mastered, earlier on stand-up albums like The Button-Down Mind of Bob Newhart and The Button-Down Mind Strikes Back! and later on his long-running American television series The Bob Newhart Show and Newhart, was capturing a brand of Everyman neuroses and heightening...    Read More >>

Stephen Lynch - Live At The El Rey [2004] Stephen Lynch (II) I bought this DVD about 8 months ago after hearing 2 of his songs at a friends house, and as yet I havn't taken it out of the DVD player! He has the voice of a choir boy and the Wit to equil any top Stand up. somewhere within is a song to offend pretty much anybody from young to old. Male or female. and thats what makes it SO GOOD! if you are thinking of getting something to make...    Read More >>

The Complete Flanders and Swann: at the Drop of a Hat/at the Drop of Another Hat/the Bestiary of Flanders & Swann Flanders & Swann ... of buying three CDs of two men singing comic songs. Don't be. Flanders and Swann's "comic songs" are different from most. They have bite, wit, character, fire and - just below the surface - sometimes profound meaning. These are no "ordinary" comic songs. Neither is Swann's accompaniment at the piano ordinary. These are CDs that contain true gems....    Read More >>

Lake Wobegon Days: Original Radio 4 Broadcast (Radio Collection) Garrison Keillor Listen to the CD - then read the book. Once you've got Keillor's voice in your head, you'll never read his books the same way again. Gentle humour about growing up in Lake Wobegon, the town the map-makers missed (yes, it's in Mist County). Carefully observed detail, related with love (and occasionally impatience). Yes, this is small-town America, and eventually Keillor escaped to the big city. These...    Read More >>

On the Hour, Series 1 Steve Coogan Looking back at OTH Series 1 it's nearly unbelievable how much everybody involved in OTH went on to achieve - my favourites being Iannucci's "Rise Of The Nutters" (The Thick Of it) and Morris's "Rise Of The Idiots" (Nathan Barley). But there's hundreds of other great examples like Coogan's Paul Calf video diaries and his work with Jim Jarmusch in Coffee & Cigarettes. The other thing that's...    Read More >>

Phonetically Speaking - and Don't Forget the Piano Victor Borge Victor Borge was a unique performer, combining the skills of a concert pianist with the timing and insights of a great comedian. Always impeccable, the complete gentleman, Borge's was a sophisticated, intelligent humour, humane and humanistic, though not without teeth - acerbic, witty, fast, but delivered with a voice which is as warm and silky as a glass of Drambuie. A Dane, he escaped ahead of...    Read More >>

BBC Radiophonic Workshop: A Retrospective Various Artists this is the best thing i've bought off amazon for a while. i love it, and you will too. i am too young to remember most of these tunes, except for the really famous ones like doctor who but i have this cd in the car and it is such fun to think, 'that sounds like it has to be, oh i don't know, the royal wedding theme', and then find out it is actually 'magic carpet ride' or something. i...    Read More >>
