Dane Cook

Dane Cook is part rock star, part funny man. His second album, Retaliation, went double-platinum and was the highest charting comedy album of the past 28 years. The follow-up Rough Around the Edges -- taped live at Madison Square Garden -- sounds like the At Budokan of comedy albums, with its raucous background laughter. Cook's material is steeped in brutally honest, fratboy-ish observations and delivered with all the enthusiasm of a college football coach. And it's positively "tourgastic."
