That’s right Comedy Central has a feature length film’s worth of stand-up tonight as two episodes of The Half Hour will also be joined by Lewis Black’s new hour special.

Specifically, the three specials will premiere on Comedy Central as follows:
Lewis Black: Black to the Future 10PM
The Half Hour: Mike Recine 12AM
The Half Hour: Jacqueline Novak 12:30AM

If you want a bit of a preview of each special, here’s Jacqueline dissecting the idea of “apple women”, Lewis Black talking about the unbelievable notion that some people won’t be voting next month, and Mike wondering about the absence of songs about fighting couples being mistaken.

Comedy Central’s The Half Hour Will Feature Joe Machi, Aparna Nancherla, Ahmed Bharoocha, Mike Recine, Naomi Ekperigin, Nate Fernald, and More This Year

This should make for a really strong season of The Half Hour on Comedy Central.

Getting their own half-hour specials in the fall this year will be:

Cy Amundson
Erik Bergstrom
Ahmed Bharoocha
Matthew Broussard
Naomi Ekperigin
Nate Fernald
Noah Gardenswartz
Emily Heller
Martha Kelly
Joe Machi
Drew Michael
Aparna Nancherla
Jacqueline Novak
Mike Recine
Ramon Rivas II
Ali Saddiq
Nick Turner

There is a great deal of the folks above that it would be worth going to YouTube and checking out whether you’re familiar with them or not.

If you happen to be in New Orleans in the beginning of June, you can go to the tapings of these half hour specials.

Yes, you’re going to want to get both of these.

We thoroughly enjoyed I Don’t Care, I Like It from brilliant comedy music duo Drennon Davis and Karen Kilgariff and Union Delegate from NYC’s Mike Recine and think that you should buy these instead of indulging in pre-Black Friday sales.

They’re two vastly different albums, but we have a feeling that you’ll do a spit take laughing or literally slapping your knee when listening to them like we did.

Get I Don’t Care I Like It here and Union Delegate here.

Mike Recine’s “Union Delegate” Comes Out Tomorrow from Comedy Dynamics

Comedy Dynamics has another really great release in Mike Recine’s upcoming album Union Delegate.

Recine has made his way through the NYC comedy scene ranks, seemingly, on the strength of how laid back he appears on stage while going to really weird and dark comedic corners in his act. In fact, Mike lures everyone in by sounding and looking normal enough, then very often going down a long, very colorful road of a metaphor or some observation. Such comedic stylings made for a really great album in Union Delegate.

No samples are available before its release tomorrow, but if you don’t want to take our word for it, watch his Conan set here.

The very funny NYC based Mike Recine made his first stand up appearance ever on Conan this week and, along with that, we’re reminded of how ridiculous that Mrs. Doubtfire movie is as well as the harsh rules of The Special Olympics.

Watch his set here.
