"Congratulations! You are now a member of a cult audience. This means that you know about me before a lot of other people do. Imagine the fun you'll have dropping my name into conversation with unsuspecting 'squares': 'Ha! That reminds me of that bit on the Spencer Brown album....'

"A few years ago, I became one of the founders of the llisu Dam Campaign, [dedicated to stopping] a government-backed project to build a dam in the Kurdish region of Turkey. This audio programme is a recording of a show I did about the campaign, the people, and the dam...." (Mark Thomas)

The former Perrier Newcomer Nominee, Time Out Award Winner, and Comedy Store Regular, who has had six series on Radio 4, performs live Downstairs at the Kings Head. He uses words like conkers, cooking them in the vinegar of his mind, then bringing them down on the heads of his audience without warning.

US comic Scott Capurro has been a frequent visitor to the UK since the mid '90s. Generally described as 'outrageous' and even more generally as 'gay', Scott has worked every comedy club and comedy festival in Britain without achieving the national recognition that his mom thinks he so richly deserves! But so what? That's his problem (and hers). Listen to this controversial performance to make up your own mind.

The master of sarcasm and irony, taking a break from television and radio, recorded this double album for Laughing Stock over a couple of UK tours. It contains all new material. The David Copperfield/Claudia Schiffer routine could seriously damage your health.

Here is the award winning, surprisingly angry, but slightly reluctant comedian in his third solo show, all about his little tantrums and snatches of dinner party conversation.

A lonely boy who lives on the mainland. A childless couple who look after a lighthouse. A rocket-ship kennel that appears from nowhere. This is the story of DOGMAN!

From South Africa to Aviemore, this recording spans a year in the life of a busy and talented stand-up comedian. Whether it's the Edinburgh Fringe Festival or the Melbourne Comedy Festival, Stephen K Amos will lavish his charm and cutting wit on everyone lucky enough to witness this brilliant comic.

This performance was recorded at the Tricycle Theatre, London, during Robert Newman's sell-out run of dates in 2005.

This is the very first record produced by Laughing Stock. Recorded at the Edinburgh Festival in 1991, it contains much of Arnold's best known and best loved works.

Together again for the first time: Barry Cryer and Ronnie Golden, two icons of rock and...droll! Songs, jokes, and a commentary on our times. Who could ask for anything less.

The Night War Broke Out was recorded live in Edinburgh on the evening the US and UK military started the invasion of Iraq, with the bombing of Saddam Hussein's palace. The day was full of rumours that Saddam Hussein's deputy Tariq Aziz had been captured (untrue) and that the invasion had started (true). Lunchtime that day saw a massive turnout of anti-war protestors taking part in civil disobedience by blocking the main streets of the city.

Back at the dawn of time when comedy consisted of camp stereotypes and 'my wife's so fat' jokes, Arnold Brown, Alexei Sayle, Ben Elton, and others were busy creating an alternative brand of comedy that has survived to this day.

Sean Hughes has taken a break from his novel writing and the hit TV show Never Mind the Buzzcocks to write and perform a new live show entitled Alibis for Life. Recorded in Melbourne, Australia, this new title is Sean's most cynical and perceptive work to date. Starring Matt and Diane as the married (with big problems) couple next door, Sean drags his audience into a hilarious world of sex, drugs, betrayal, and brilliantly observed asides that will leave you gasping.

Following the extraordinary success of his hilarious debut DVD, comedian Dr Phil is back with an on stage confession of all those personal and professional cock-ups that have made him a GP and thankfully not a heart surgeon. Note: Not suitable for anyone on the Fitness to Practice Committee of the General Medical Council.

Phil Hammond is a comedian trapped in a doctor’s body. This comedy doctor has appeared on Have I Got News For You, The News Quiz and the Now Show, but still finds time to see patients. (Mondays only). He is disarmingly rude about politicians, death, drugs, sex and especially himself.
