GRAMMY AWARDS: For Your Consideration: Best Comedy Album

One of my favorite categories in the Grammys is Best Comedy Album, where several stand-up comedians and comic performers/actors have an rare opportunity to win the Grammy Award. Nominations will be announced December 5.

James Adomian
LOW HANGING FRUIT

There are no clips from the album available from his album online, so here is a stand-up performance he did in someone's weird attic. You can purchase the album here.

Aziz Ansari
DANGEROUSLY DELICIOUS

Also available for streaming on Spotify

Hannibal Buress
ANIMAL FURNACE

Shortly before the TV special and accompanying album was released, Chicago native Buress appeared on CONAN to share his favorite part of the iPad (reading embarrassing books), napkin ettiquette, and the TV show "Homeland."
Also available for streaming on Spotify

Jim Gaffigan
MR. UNIVERSE

I saw Gaffigan perform at Loyola this past March (thanks to my sister, who attends there. The second I found out he was performing there, I immediately called her and demanded she get tickets.) For 90 minutes, we were all in stitches. When Mr. Universe was available for download on his website the following month, I purchased it and watched the whole thing. Three times over the course of four days.

Pete Holmes
IMPREGNATED WITH WONDER


Also available for streaming on Spotify

Kevin Hart
LAUGH AT MY PAIN


Tenacious D
RIZE OF THE FENIX


Tig Notari
LIVE
Unfortunately ineligible due to being released five days after the September 30 deadline.
