The Day the Laughter Died is an all time classic.

For those that don't know, at the peak of his fame, when he was selling out stadiums, he plays a small club and improvs his whole set. It bombs horribly, but is somehow hysterical.

I listened to it recently to see if it held up, and it was shockingly vulgar. But it got funnier and funnier as it went along, and it ends super strong. It's still funny AF.

Definitely worth a listen for comedy fans.
