Heard about this one called The Comedians on the Dana Gould Hour podcast and he spoke highly of it, but I haven't read it yet.
Not sure, but if you have interest, Bill Burr said this book was great

I'm usually anti-gift-card, but maybe a club will let you buy a certificate. That way you can buy a gift that plays to his tastes without committing to a show he won't like.
Or, you could always buy a comedy album for him. A CD, or vinyl makes a great gift, if he has a turntable.
Or maybe a book written by a comedian, or about comedy. Kilph Nesteroff just released a history of comedy that's been getting good reviews.
FWIW, if you're so craving for knowledge, this book is largely what they're sourcing from and is just over 400 pages to whet your appetite. The Comedians
Don't know if you ever found out the book he was talking about. Been catching up more on his podcast and he brings it up again in the Thursday Podcast on 11/19. The book is The Comedians: Drunks, Thieves, Scoundrels, and the History of American Comedy by Kliph Nesteroff.
Thanks! I added "looking for lenny" to my watchlist. I just read about Lenny Bruce in The Comedians and I am now looking forward to watching a doc about him.
