Did Woody Allen ever do stand-up? I think Albee Singer's stand up in Annie Hall is really funny.
"I was thrown out of N.Y.U. my freshman year for cheating on my metaphysics final, you know. I looked within the soul of the boy sitting next to me. When I was thrown out, my mother, who was an emotionally high-strung woman, locked herself in the bathroom and took an overdose of Mah-Jongg tiles. I was depressed at that time. I was in analysis. I was suicidal as a matter of fact and would have killed myself, but I was in analysis with a strict Freudian, and, if you kill yourself, they make you pay for the sessions you miss. "
I don't know that much about stand-up, but about half of the people on Comedy Central are pretty funny.
Fuck me, I just googled it and answered my own question.
