Robin Williams is bringing his comedy act back to HBO this Fall, taping his first stand-up special for the network in seven years and his fourth HBO special overall.

Video of Comedian Mike Birbiglia

I love listening to Mike Birbiglia when he's on This American Life. We all have those moments when what we really should have said was nothing, but we say something really awkward instead.

Comedian Leo Allen on the Perils of Drinking

I kind of have a crush on Leo Allen (any relation to Woody?). I saw him live recently when he opened for the awesome Janeane Garofalo, and although his act started off slow and awkward, it got quirkier and better and funnier.

Wanda Sykes gives her two hilarious cents on why the biggest threat to heterosexual marriage is not gay marriage, but rather . . . divorce. (Ba dum ching!) Her solution?

Got Questions For Sarah Silverman?

I am so excited that I'm getting interview access to the first ladies of comedy. First Margaret Cho, and now Sarah Silverman! But I wanted to ask you guys, do you have any questions you'd like me to ask the salty-tongued lass who, among other things, wrote and starred in Jesus Is Magic and told her version of a notoriously raunchy joke in The Aristocrats?

GiggleSugar Interviews Margaret Cho!

When I think of Margaret Cho, I think of her hilarious standup act in flashes of representative scenes. There's Margaret telling everyone how weird it is to be an Asian American on an airplane with a flight attendant offering you Asian chicken salad. ("That is not the salad of my people!") There's Margaret imitating her mother's cute Korean accent and puzzling over gay men and their, uh, Read more
