I love that man. I highly recommend his book "Zombie Spaceship Wasteland" to anyone.

Gary Gulman's 2012 special is on Prime (newer ones are on Netflix):

Gulman's Conan set on "State Abbreviations" is a six-minute masterpiece:

Hannibal Buress - Animal Furnace. Possibly the best title of a comedy video ever.
There is a "Stand up comedy bible" that's a bit outdated. The first few chapters are okay though.
This book for late night writing also has some pretty decent bits of info.
For free? Dunno. There's a DVD, though, it seems and the one special that he did (are there more? dunno) is for sale on Steam of all places. (It's also on that DVD.)

Jimmy Carr has co-written a couple of fantastic books which do exactly that. He analyses the history of jokes, where they came from, how they work structurally etc

Hard pass.
For an actual comedian's perspective check out Stewart Lee. He's extremely self-aware and clever. Even wrote a book on analyzing comedy.

You can write sitcom specs and then move to LA and get a manager and he tries to get you a job. I recommend this book if you're interested: http://www.amazon.com/Writing-Television-Sitcoms-revised-Smith/dp/0399535373
There is a book that is a biography/auto-biography out there I believe called Last Words.
Amazon Link
Bonus: His daughter wrote an Amazon review of the book saying it had stuff in it she didn't even know about her father.
Not an understatement.
“Dostoyevsky by way of 30 Rockefeller Center . . . the best new book I’ve read this year or last.”—The Wall Street Journal

I really enjoyed this book, would read again!
Probably Comedy at the Edge. which I highly recommend. If it's not then definitely update because I would like to read this other book.
http://www.amazon.com/Sony-ICD-AX412-Stereo-Digital-Recorder/dp/B004M8STL8/ref=sr_1_2?s=electronics&ie=UTF8&qid=1406169612&sr=1-2&keywords=sony+digital+voice+recorders -- put that on a stool near you before your sets, it'll help you hear exactly how you sound, and we'll be able to tell too!
This is a good book that talks about the history of the place:

You'll probably have to build yourself a stage unless you want to buy your own, but that can be pricey.
You'd want a mixer, XLRs, microphone, microphone stand, and speaker
