We dont appear to have one yet. I just googled Aziz Ansari as thats the sort of thing I like to do from time to time and he has a new stand up show out. Following the same model as CK Louis its available DRM free for $5 (£3.28).
Really big fan of this independent selling, drm free business. As impulsive as Steam sales.
Louis is far better. Although Ansari is decent, he plays with fairly safe subjects but twists them a bit. I like it. Very current, talks about Facebook, bed sheets, and being friends with Kanye West and somehow makes it all funny.
Louis is a self depreciating fat American. Very open and honest. Â

The first chap, who's outtake was posted. I'll watch those at some point but I appear to have put basketball on the TV and suspect that means I've had a stroke.
Recently saw Shapi Korrsander, Josie Long, Rich Hall and James Acaster. Rich Hall was brilliant, Shapi and Josie were great, and James Acaster was new, but rather good. Sadly every video I can find of Acaster is really shit, he was incredibly deadpan live but on TV he seems to be shit. Disappoint.
I didn't think she was too great on either of those things either but she was good live. All very personal intimate stuff about herself that she takes the piss out of, some of it probably wouldn't make the cut for Apollo.
I don't think I can name a single female comedian who has been really funny on Mock the Week, and I have only seen a few Apollo shows, non with women on.
The one I'm thinking of is a black woman with part of her hair dyed. She's claims she's from LAHNDAHN and poor and talks about being from LAHNDAHN and poor. Or something like that.
I saw shapi live at live at the Apollo and she was fucking terrible. She rinsed thensame act she's beendoing for years and was all over the shop. She claimed throughout she was trying new material but it wasn't.. That's why no one was laughing. It was cringing. She has a 30 minute slot and left after 20 even mentioning on departure that we were a tough crowd. The thing was eveyon else that night had us in stiches. It was embarassing and the first time I've felt that a tv level comedian was goingto get booed at the hammersmith.
Favourite two live were Milton and Reginald. Reginald was asked at the end if he wouldn't mind telling the fritzel joke as one guy in the audience hadn't heard it. It wa the nd of his set but he smiled, agreed and spent ten minutes delivering it perfectly. Standing ovation in a small soho theatre. Untold respect for that.
He could've just said they came from another planet but seems keen to convince people with his bullshit pseudoscience that he knows stuff. I wouldn't trust him with my lunch. - SG
Although having just seen Unlikelys post, I'm guessing the pun style of comedy is a bit more niche. I also find the really dry american comedian (on mock the week occassionally) very bloody funny.
Gamertag: aaroncupboard (like the room where you keep towels)
I sat through an hour in a small theatre and he was immense. It actually was him trying new material but was 80% hit and 20% miss. I can understand those who think the novelty would wear off but if you find him funny at all then you would not be disappointed live. Worth every penny.
It's funny watching him because it's funny how the audience get his jokes at differnt times. The ounchlines are not served up like with other comedians.
Rich hall is also brillian because he cando so much on the fly and thestuff he sings with his stage band is good. I generally dint like it when comedians try to sing funny stuff but he is an exception.
I also love mock the week.
