Nate Craig’s 2018 album Preferred Customer was one our favorite comedy albums of all 2018, which automatically put it in our 100 Best of 2018 list.

Not only is it a finely, finely sharpened hour of personal, observational stand-up that’s exceptionally delivered by Craig, but the extended opening to the hour, a special sort of greeting, is still something to behold, even two years later.

Just yesterday, Craig released via All Things Comedy the hour special version of Preferred Customer, shot live at Dynasty Typewriter, so you can see Nate look as sharp as he is with his entire set list. In fact, for your convenience and delight, Nate put the whole thing on YouTube for you stream whenever you’d like, free of charge or borrowing anyone’s streaming service password.

Without further adieu, please enjoy Nate Craig: Preferred Customer here.

Nate Craig’s Preferred Customer Is One of Our Favorite Comedy Albums of the Year

The opening to, Preferred Customer, this new album from Nate Craig, should set a new standard for opening an hour of comedy. It’s, at the same time, warm, inviting, just the right, measured amount of sass, and an actual extended greeting beyond the routine “great to be here” or story about what part of town the venue in which the album/special was recorded at.

Such care and consideration are the bedrocks of what makes up Craig’s latest and greatest album. The observations within Nate’s bits, ranging from inventions to abortion to Adobe Flash, are so clever and original, yet never too farfetched. Similarly, the hour progresses smoothly and nothing seems shoe-horned in, though the material is incredibly varied, topic-wise. Craig just seems to stick the landing here, whether it be in delivery, pacing, diction, etc.

Simply put, we were laughing out loud, wire-to-wire, in our car while listening to Preferred Customer. Thus, we’ve found one of our favorite stand-up albums of 2018.

Preferred Customer comes out this Thursday (in just a few hours of this post) wherever you stream your albums, but you can (and should) pre-order it on iTunes right now.
