If you want to buy some solid stand-up comedy from the past couple of years, and have your purchases go to good causes, perhaps you might check out the new Humble Comedy Bundle.

Angela Hoover’s semifinal performance on America’s Got Talent 2013

Not the Jack & Jill rhyme that Andrew Dice Clay told you. The other one. The audience and judges clearly approved of Hoover’s impersonations of Osbourne and Vergara. But...
