Below is what's an incomplete list in no real order of solo comedians, duos and troupes by whom I have at least one album or single in any of the formats listed in the first question. Do you have any recordings of them, like their work or would like to own work of theirs? The Smothers Brothers (granted, most or all or their albums have at least some music on them, but I was initially taken wth their stand-up comedy)

Of the comedy acts by whom you have recordings, have you seen any of them perform in person? Yes
9%

No, and am satisfied with not doing so.
14%

No, because everyone by whom I have comedy recordings is dead or no longer performing.

No, but there's at least one who's currently active I'd like to see.
