Recent Comments – Side Bar – Extension?

There is no need for a plugin for that. You easily add that directly to your theme.

The following script will display 384 recent comments. Just chuck it into your sidebar and they will appear 🙂

<?php
			global $wpdb;
			$sql = "SELECT DISTINCT ID, post_title, post_password, comment_ID,
			comment_post_ID, comment_author, comment_date_gmt, comment_approved,
			comment_type,comment_author_url,
			SUBSTRING(comment_content,1,28) AS com_excerpt
			FROM $wpdb->comments
			LEFT OUTER JOIN $wpdb->posts ON ($wpdb->comments.comment_post_ID =
			$wpdb->posts.ID)
			WHERE comment_approved = '1' AND comment_type = '' AND
			post_password = ''
			ORDER BY comment_date_gmt DESC
			LIMIT 384";
			$comments = $wpdb->get_results($sql);
			$output = $pre_HTML;
			$output .= "\n<ul>";
			foreach ($comments as $comment) {
			$output .= "\n<li>".strip_tags($comment->comment_author)
			.":" . " <a href=\"" . get_permalink($comment->ID) .
			"#comment-" . $comment->comment_ID . "\" title=\"on " .
			$comment->post_title . "\">" . strip_tags($comment->com_excerpt)
			."</a></li>";
			}
			$output .= "\n</ul>";
			$output .= $post_HTML;
			echo $output;
		?>

… obviously you can change the 384 to whatever you want 😛
