Ever wonder what it's like when two of America's greatest comics head overseas to bring their humor to the good people of England? Pretty interesting. In the above clip, Dave Chappelle drops in on a small underground club and discovers (among other things) that even celebrities can't smoke on stage in London.
And after the jump, check out an interview and some show footage from Chris Rock's first ever appearances in England, complete with observations about just how much more the English drink than we do as Americans.

Nick Thune On High Times
Once upon a time before we turned our attention to ruling the Internet, we used to run a live comedy show on behalf of High Times magazine. It was - shocker - a stoner comedy show and we had a ton of great comics do the show regularly. One of our favorites was Nick Thune, who got this great bit out of doing the show and then wound up using the bit as part of his Comedy Central Presents special. Glad we could help, Nick.

Paul F. Tompkins Does Comedy At You
This clip features Paul F. Tompkins opening his set at the recent SuperDeluxe show at SXSW in Austin. It's technically a standup clip, but since Paul's pretty much trying to avoid doing his actual act in the clip, you shouldn't hold it against him.

Ever Wonder What It's Like To See Bob Saget Do Standup?
According to LAist, it's very funny and very dirty.

Don't let cardigans and vacuums be his legacy. Saget would rather tell you that Dave Coulier used to shave his balls, or that John Stamos has a mullet on his.
When Hecklers Attack
It's a timeless story in the world of standup: Comic goes on stage, couple in the audience refuses to shut up, comic calls the wife a cunt, husband punches comic in the face, couple leaves, and comic finishes his set. If any of this interests you (and we know it does), then click here to read the full story of Philadelphia comedian Pat House's fun night at (we're not making this up) Riots Comedy show in Pennsylvania.

Mary Lynn Rajskub On "24" And Terrorism Panels

What better Friday afternoon pick-me-up than a little standup (read: storytelling) from Mary Lynn Rajskub? In this Effin Funny clip, she talks about getting invited to be on a terrorism panel, and why Rush Limbaugh has a crush on her.

Birthday Bacon
"How many bacon jokes is he gonna do? It's like, come on!"
One of our regular Whip It Out Comedy readers is celebrating a birthday today and we've cooked up a special present for her here at Whip It Out Comedy headquarters. We're going to feed her odd Jim Gaffigan obsession with this clip of his approximately 300 minutes of material on bacon. It's almost as great a birthday present as the free kiddie scoop of ice cream that Baskin Robbins offers people on their birthdays. Almost.

If You Believe
"You can do anything, unless..."
We're not sure why, but we consistently underestimate how funny Hard n Phirm are. It's not that we don't like them, it's just that we forget how funny they are until we see them. Their Comedy Central Presents special that debuted this weekend and opened with the fantastic performance featured above reminded us (yet again) of just how great these guys are.

It will be hilarious, we will be there, and you should be there too. Tickets are just $10, you can bring your own booze, and you'll get a chance to check out all of these great comics…

Surprise, It's Jim Norton
"I'm sexy if your idea of a pickup line is 'Pssst!'"
The rulers of the universe over at Myspace recently took a break from promoting the likes of Carlos Mencia and Jamie Kennedy to put on a Secret Standup show featuring Jim Norton in New York. We're not sure it's all that unusual to have the opportunity to see Norton in New York, but at least the event led to this amusing video.
