On a stand-up kick lately
I've been listening to a lot of stand-up comedy lately, mainly as background noise for when I'm working. I talk to other people in my profession and they say they need silence to concentrate and can't even write with the TV on, but, man, I hate silence. Why put up with silence when you can listen to music? Or the TV? Or in my case, stand-up comedy?
So, some of the great acts I've been spinning in my harddrive while writing have been:
- Nick Swardson's "Party"
- Jim Norton's "Monster Rain"
- Michael Ian Black's "I am a Wonderful Man"
- Jim Gaffigan's "King Baby"
Any suggestions for me?

My favorite comedy CD is
Dave Attell’s Skanks for the Memories!
I play it whenever I’m having a bad day at work.
