Humble Comedy Bundle

For those who have not heard it, the Tig Notaro special is the one covered extensively by NPR and various news outlets, after Louis CK declared it one of the &quot;truly great, masterful standup sets&quot;. The set famously opens with her revealing to the audience that she was just diagnosed with Stage 2 breast cancer.<p><a href="http://www.npr.org/2013/07/26/205540155/tig-notaro-on-going-live-about-her-life" rel="nofollow">http:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.npr.org&#x2F;2013&#x2F;07&#x2F;26&#x2F;205540155&#x2F;tig-notaro-on-going-...</a><p>I&#x27;ve only seen a couple sets by Tig, but this set and the Louis CK set alone make it worth the 5-10 dollars for the bundle.<p>As a side note, it&#x27;s great to see Humble Bundle expanding into new types of content.

I feeel like Humble Bundle is sort of becoming like Woot! The more it branches out, the more successful it is, and less relevant to me it is...

This site keeps track of DRM free comedy specials for $5 or less.<p><a href="http://www.comedyspecials.org/" rel="nofollow">http:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.comedyspecials.org&#x2F;</a>

I&#x27;ve been nothing but impressed with this HumbleBundle team. We produced the Maria Bamford special at Chill (chill.com) and worked with them to make this part of the new Bundle. Of all the output deals we have done, they have been the most forward thinking, transparent and just plain easy going I&#x27;ve seen. And they even got me to drop $25 on this one.

Interesting that you can divide how the money is distributed to the artists. Is that new? Once upon a time for video games you could split dev&#x2F;charity&#x2F;tip but you could not control the split per dev. Am I mistaken?

Wow this is great, Patrice O&#x27;Neal is one of the best comedians of his generation.

Oh this is just a whole bag of yes! great (and long-running) standup shows are hard to find online. I even considered starting my own BitTorrent tracker just for old televised stand-up that never gets aired anymore. Sometimes I like going back and seeing &quot;who made it&quot; from the old HBO Young Comedians specials.

I realize they must run tight margins with the prices they charge, but I keep craving a nice client for all this non-game content on my Android device - I have the eBook bundle and it&#x27;s a bit of a rigamarole to get the ebooks into the Kindle app, and the Android bundle client doesn&#x27;t even list the ebooks.

This is an amazing bundle.<p>Patrice O&#x27;Neal sadly died a few years ago, but his comedy was still hilarious. Maria Bamford is great.<p>Hannibal Buress is probably one of my favorite rising comedians today.<p>The great thing about this bundle is that you can check out most of the comedians on YouTube, but I definitely recommend buying it.

This is not &quot;pay what you want&quot; anymore.<p>Unlike their initial &quot;pay what you want&quot; culture, now they are basically giving away few free stuff to encourage you to buy their paid stuff.

I&#x27;ve already bought Louis CK&#x27;s show directly from his site. Is the beat the avg worth it for the Patrice O&#x27;Neal shows?

It seems that the &#x27;bigger is badder&#x27; mentality has snuck its way into this discussion as well.<p>The Humble Bundle allows its customers to donate every penny they spend and promotes up and coming artists. Why would its success be anything but favorable if neither of these characteristics have changed?

I&#x27;ve never watched Louis CK, so I&#x27;m might take a look at this. I&#x27;ve only heard good things about him.<p>I&#x27;ve always preferred British comedy over all others though, so I was a little disappointed not to see the likes of Dara &#x27;O Briain or Michael McIntyre.

Is Humble Bundle the new Groupon?
