App Finder: Funniest comedy apps

Sometimes life doesn't feel so funny, and we find ourselves in need of a momentary escape into the minds of our favorite comedians. Whether you're a fan of dark comedy, biting satire or British humor, a host of apps for iTunes and Android have you covered. From podcasts to stand-up clips and funny tweets, check these out next time you're feeling a strong case of the Mondays coming on.

iHeartRadio: Download iHeartRadio to your smartphone and tune in to the app's 24/7 Comedy station. Though you can't find the station on local radio airwaves anymore these days — the station was phased out for good last year by parent company Clear Channel — it lives on in app form, feeding listeners stand-up clips from comics like Hannibal Buress, Todd Barry, Jim Gaffigan, Jerry Seinfeld, Doug Benson and Maria Bamford.
