I would like to record comedy on my computer. Can anyone recommend a
software program that would be useful? I was looking at the cakewalk
stuff. Any good? Daniel

Cakewalk's high-end stuff (Sonar) can run head-to-head with most other
pro audio software; even their low-end stuff (Home Studio) is perfectly
usable and probably more than good enough for your application since you
aren't going to be mixing all that many tracks or applying much fancy
processing.

You could use (free) Audacity and laugh all the way to the bank.

At the very worst, Audacity will get people hands-on
experience with recording, not to mention getting some work
done. It's a simple program and lacks the power of more
expensive software, so some people will move on. However,
its unlikely that anybody finds their time with Audacity to
be a waste.

If you just need to use it to arrange several tracks of dialogue, sound
effects and possibly background music, Audacity should be perfectly adequate.

I am currently using it to do something similar (a collaborative web-based
'radio series' in the style of Hitchikers's Guide).

Audacity has a few quirks and the UI could be better, but you can't beat
the price, and it will also run on OSX and even Linux, as well as Windows.
