The Grammy Award for '''Best Comedy Album''' is presented by the National Academy of Recording Arts and Sciences of the United States to "honor artistic achievement in comedy."<ref name=Overview>{{cite web|url=http://www.grammy.org/recording-academy|title=Overview|access-date=March 16, 2011|publisher=National Academy of Recording Arts and Sciences|archive-date=August 11, 2011|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20110811045631/http://www.grammy.org/recording-academy|url-status=dead}}</ref> The award was awarded yearly from 1959 to 1993 and then from 2004 to present day.

==History== There have been several minor changes to the name of the award over this time:

*From 1959 to 1967 it was '''Best Comedy Performance''' *From 1968 to 1991 it was known as '''Best Comedy Recording''' *From 1992 to 1993 and from 2004 to the present day it was awarded as '''Best Comedy Album'''

In 1960 and 1961 two separate awards were presented for the best spoken and for the best musical comedy performance.

In 1994, after four consecutive years of wins by classical music comedy albums, the award was restricted to spoken word comedy albums and moved into the "spoken" field. From then through 2003, it was awarded as the Grammy Award for '''Best Spoken Comedy Album'''.

In 2004 the award was reinstated within the comedy field as the Grammy Award for Best Comedy Album, once again allowing musical comedy works to be considered.

Bill Cosby holds the record for most consecutive wins, with six earned between 1965 and 1970. Peter Schickele (of P.D.Q. Bach fame) is the runner-up, with four wins between 1990 and 1993.

The winner is the first-named artist and work for each year, or, for 1960 and 1961, category. === 1950s === {| class="wikitable" style="font-size:1.00em; line-height:1.5em;" |- bgcolor="#bebebe" |- bgcolor="#bebebe" ! width="5%" | Year{{ref|1|[I]}} ! width="30%" | Work ! width="25%" | Performing Artist |- |-style="background:#FAEB86;" ! rowspan=5, style="text-align:center;"|1959 <ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.india-server.com/awards/features/grammy-awards-1959-may-238.html|title=Grammy Awards 1959 (May)|publisher=Awards & Shows|access-date=July 20, 2011|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20110528061002/http://www.india-server.com/awards/features/grammy-awards-1959-may-238.html|archive-date=May 28, 2011|url-status=dead}}</ref> | "The Chipmunk Song (Christmas Don't Be Late)" || Ross Bagdasarian Sr. |- | ''The Best of the Stan Freberg Shows'' || Stan Freberg |- | ''The Future Lies Ahead'' || Mort Sahl |- | "Green Chri$tma$" || Stan Freberg |- | ''Improvisations to Music'' || Elaine May and Mike Nichols |- |}
