Here’s a list of ideas for holiday gifts for comedy fans. For a more comprehensive gift guide for comedians (including gifts for the craft), check out this post.

Experiences are the best gifts, say people who aren’t sure what to get their friends. Ok, comedy shows are damn fun. Here are some good ones. (Chime in–what are the best ones where you are?)

An “Experience”

People love things, despite the schmaltzy saying that experiences are the best gifts. Here are some comedy things.

Albums

Your friends’ taste may vary, but here are some of my favorite comedians’ newest albums, many included in these end of year best-of album wrap ups (Paste & Laugh Button). They’re available in all the usual places (Amazon, iTunes, Google Play, music stores, comedian web stores).

  • I’m Sorry (You’re Welcome) Eugene Mirman
  • Tasty Radio Mike D. O’Brien (Second City & SNL alum)
  • Funches of Us Ron Funches
  • This is Cool, Right? Brooks Wheelan
    • (I’ve listened to a couple of tracks on this one and it’s hilarious.)
  • Jon Benjamin, Jazz Daredevil: Well, I Should Have…* H. Jon Benjamin
  • Good For Her Emily Heller
