BEST OF STANDUP COMEDY

While the enjoyment of comedy varies by taste and opinon, this album of 10 performances on 10 cassettes might have something for everyone. The background laughter puts everyone in a good mood for each comedian's performance, and the sounds of and from the band and the extraneous guffaws from the audience only enhance the pieces. The content of the material needs to be previewed if one plans to listen in company. Brian Regan gives the one performance the whole family can listen to and laugh at together, and Bobby Collins is fine for the 15-year-and-older crowd. The other individual tapes might make great gifts for your friends of different sophistication levels. J.P. (c) AudioFile 2002, Portland, Maine [Published: DEC 02/ JAN 03]
