Would you put a stand-up comedy record on your Pazz & Jop ballot?

I think I meant to post this on ILM but I guess it kinda works here too.

yes, and there's precedent for it also

I was trying to search for examples...I see that Evie Nagy had Patton Oswalt's last record on her 2011. Any others? Any significant showings of stand up records on the final results?

what about an album of musical comedy?

now i'm legally obliged to do a Mumford and Sons joke

hell no, music only (but musical comedy would be fair game)

i mean at a certain point you might as well start including books on tape

Sure, why not? A different kind of music.

you write books of poetry, man, of course you think spoken word is fair game!

what some dude said, basically

Skrillex is a wonderful guitarist.

i was betting money some dude or croup would come in and start laying out stats on the two times comedy records won Album of the Year Grammys

for the right comedy album - why not?

Can't imagine that I ever would myself, but for someone else, I can't see anything wrong with it. Marcus had the Firesign Theatre on his '74 ballot.

lol sorry to disappoint you whiney!

Here you go Whiney. Here's one Grammy example (pre-Pazz & Jop era)

From Wiki

The Button-Down Mind of Bob Newhart is a 1960 live album by comedian Bob Newhart. The debut album by Newhart, the album was number one on the Billboard Pop Album chart, topping an album by Elvis Presley and the cast album of The Sound of Music.

It won Album of the Year at the 1961 Grammy Awards and Newhart was named Best New Artist. It was the first comedy album to win Album of the Year and the only time a comedian has won Best New Artist.

Newhart wanted the title to be The Most Celebrated New Comedian Since Attila the Hun. But Warner Bros. executives created the album's title and Newhart had to settle for his idea as a subtitle.[3]
