On TODD GLASS TALKS ABOUT STUFF (out this Tuesday on New Wave Dynamics), Todd Glass does indeed, talk about stuff. The 12-track collection of observational comedy is right on the mark - and Glass' spends it ripping into daily stupidity in a good way. From people who love to tell you who you look like (I get that ALL...
On their third full-length outing, Andy Samberg, Akiva Shaffer, and Jorma Taccone - collectively known as THE LONELY ISLAND - break out the jams for a rap album that's hardly wack, despite being called THE WACK ALBUM. As a follow-up to their previous albums, 2009's INCREDIBAD and 2011's TURTLENECK & CHAIN (both of which I own) THE WACK ALBUM...
I bet you weren't aware that NickMom was blatantly copying The Rock Father when they decided to slide some NSFW standup comedy into the programming mix on Nick Jr. Actually, I did it the smart way - keeping the "Comedy For Grownups" hidden just out of sight from the family-friendly goodness of my main site, but easily within reach...
It seems like a lifetime ago that JIMMY FALLON released his first comedy album, THE BATHROOM WALL. Actually, it's been a decade since I purchased that album (I still have it), and now Fallon is finally getting around to album number two. The difference this time around is that 2012 Fallon is the host of LATE NIGHT WITH JIMMY...
It's been over a decade since TENACIOUS D first rocked speakers with their phenomenal debut album, and in that time the duo of Jack Black and Kyle Gass have witnessed their comedic musical offspring take a career path much like the bands they've been known to parody. The epic first album followed by a sophomore slump, the backlash, years...
Originally Published November 15, 2011Just two months since the release of his 41-track, EXTENDED PLAY E.P., comedian T.J. MILLER is already back on store shelves - this time with NO REAL REASON, his first-ever stand-up special. Taped in his former home state of Colorado (where he lived before getting smart and moving to Chicago, prior to pussing out and moving...
Originally Published September 19, 2011There's a lot of people out there that aren't gonna ''get'' T.J. MILLER's new album, THE EXTENDED PLAY E.P. At 41 tracks and over an hour in length, it's not only not an E.P. - but it's not the standup comedy that he's known for, either. With this album, Miller enters the dangerous world of musical comedy.

Originally Published August 29, 2011The beauty of DOUG BENSON is his ability to instantly mesh with his audience through a casual delivery that never once sounds forced. Now, there's a good chance that the weed plays a big role in this, as you can hear the smile on Benson's face as if he's a smoking buddy taking a hit from the...
Originally Published August 23, 2011You know him from THE DAILY SHOW with JON STEWART, and now comedian WYATT CENAC has his first-ever stand-up special in release. Out this week on DVD, CD, and digital download via Comedy Central Records, COMEDY PERSON (reviewed from CD) is an hour of the freshest comedy around - and not just because it's only...
