For fans of stand-up comedy, the current
Humble Weekly Bundle Stand-Up Comedy presented by Comedy Dynamics contains a mix of audio & video routines and specials by noted US comedians, including the apparently highly-influential late Bill Hicks (
Wikipedia).
There's also a freebie album download for
Andy Haynes' Greatest Hits in return for your email address, which you'll have to pick up separately from the bundle, as it's not included.
Anyway, the HB which expires tomorrow, April 2nd, at 11 am Pacific Time, seems like rather good value if you enjoy the genre. Current better-than-average price is just under $7.50, at which point you might as well splurge for the $10 top-tier, which also nets you a documentary film in addition to 3 more comedy specials (the doc is included as part of the 3rd).
The audio albums are available as MP3 & FLAC downloads, the videos are available in a number of different resolutions, and apparently can be streamed and direct-downloaded (if you have a good connection that's not prone to interruption, as there seems to be no Bittorrent option for these), with subtitles for some of them.

Quote:
Pay what you want for Doug Stanhope's Beer Hall Putsch, Brooks Wheelan's This is Cool, Right?, Marc Maron's Thinky Pain, and Iliza Shelsinger's War Paint.
Pay more than the average price of the bundle to also get Brian Posehn's The Fartist, Dr. Katz Live, and Bill Hicks' One Night Stand and Rant in E Minor.
Pay $10 or more, and you get all of that plus Mike Birbiglia's My Girlfriend's Boyfriend and Bill Hicks' Arizona Bay and Totally Bill Hicks.
