Basically, Rory Scovel is one of the best out there in comedy right now. Even if this upcoming special claims that he “has never tried stand-up before”, he is still one of the best.
You’ll see with this trailer and then when Rory Scovel Tries Stand-Up For The First Time starts streaming Tuesday, June 20th next week.
While many a fantastic band has graced the stage at Jack White’s Third Man Records, only a handful of comedians can say the same.
The brilliant Rory Scovel is one of that handful that’s gotten to perform at Third Man Records and record a performance to be released on vinyl (the other two are Reggie Watts and Neil Hamburger).
Thus, you can and should pre-order/buy Rory Scovel: Live at Third Man Records now (available Tues. Dec. 17th)
