Right now he's my absolute favourite working comedian.

Apparently he's recording a new album in October.
He put out a live DVD recently too.
A stand up DVD really, though I also have it on mp3 and listen to it a lot; 'Zach Galifianakis Live At The Purple Onion'
He's a great, weird, exciting stand up.

And his latest, Freak Wharf:
I was listening to Freak Wharf again yesterday, I can't begin to say how much others should check this guy out.
For the record: "Peanut Brittle" is a masterclass in stand up comedy!
I'm outta here like Steve Martin/Go ask Alice.
Genius.
spotify is a great resource for checking out comedy albums (mostly American stuff)
If you don't have it, download it and check out
Jonathan Katz his caffeinated album
Doug Stanhope - Better than Frankie Boyle
Lewis Black
the Maria Bamford albums are there
Marc Maron
There's old stuff too like Woody Allen stand up
And Lenny Bruce including dirty words where he gets arrested live on stage.
There's loads and loads there.
Everything gets really ruined by adverts but by checking out the related artist section you can find a lot of new stuff.
After listening to his podcast, 'You Made It Weird', I decided to pick up the hosts stand up album; it's lots of silly fun:
PIERCE! GET BEERS, PIERCE!
If you find this, be advised it is not comedy.

Agreed, this is a fantastic piece of work. Although he was brilliant in films like Visioneers, I wish he would record more stand-up.
Ive listened to a bit of Rant In E Minor by Bill Hicks Recently. Really enjoy this one especially the end parts.

MAGIIIIC-! UHHHHHHH-MAGIIIIIIIC!!
For Paul F Tompkins fans, there are a couple of sets that are only currently available on DVD:
I think I'm right in saying that a different version of 'Labouring Under Delusions' will be released as an album at some point; which was recorded at a different night.
New Paul F Tompkins album to listen to:
Greg Proops is surprising good to listen to, also does I'm Sorry I Haven't a Clue count?
