“My first hour comedy special is taping June 19th at The Neptune in Seattle for @ComedyCentral. ????????❤️?❤️??❤️????. I need everyone to come out from Florence Oregon to Bellingham Washington. NW represent.”

“Sklars and Stripes” Audio Documentary Series Shows How Sklar Brothers Come Up with Material for Whichever City They’re Playing
Coming up with jokes will always be a mystifying, magical process. Every comedian does it differently and their inspiration can range from anything including molecules to the entirety of the known universe.
The Sklar Brothers are fantastic comedians that definitely have a knack for the craft of joke writing itself. As such, Audible Comedy recorded an audio documentary series that followed Jason and Randy through their gigs across the U.S. Specifically, their actual observations about a place and time are juxtaposed with the distilled jokes that they tell later on. It’s a fascinating glimpse into a facet of the comedic process of two of the quickest wits in comedy.
Sklars and Stripes spans 12 chapters across 10 different cities, which includes a chapter where they had to perform the week after the 2016 election, and is definitely worth a listen. Get it all and hear it on Audible here.
Keith Lowell Jensen’s Latest Album “Bad Comedy for Bad People” Also Features Plenty of Adorable Stories About His Daughter
The wry title of Keith Lowell Jensen belies the heart and warmth that Jensen has throughout this new hour.
Jensen has plenty of well-crafted observations including such as varied, yet niche topics as anti-gay tattoos and Charlie Chaplin. Alongside that are a bunch of stories and vignettes featuring his precocious daughter, who apparently, due to some lucky retweeting, has gotten some notoriety over her own. Keith is charming though pointed when he chooses to be, making for a very enjoyable listen.
So, get Bad Comedy for Bad People from Stand Up! Records on iTunes here.

Will Weldon’s “F*** This Guy” Is a Wonderful Debut Album Even with a Very Self-Deprecating Title & Cover Art
Will Weldon is one of those comedians that we’ve enjoyed for years and years here in LA and almost quietly wondered when he’s going to drop an album or something.
Finally, that’s going to happen with his debut release “F*** This Guy”. Every bit of Will’s pitch perfect, delicious rage is caught in this performance. In fact, much of the joy of watching Will is seeing him balance his open mindedness with his cynicism (especially his cynicism of himself).
F*** This Guy comes out this Friday, but you can (and really, really should) pre-order it here. Also, if you send proof of purchase to willweldonalbum@gmail.com, Will will supposedly send you “a reason that he feels shame”.
Wanna see a co-host of Who Charted?, a Moth winner, and the mind behind one of the best Guy Fieri jokes out there for FREE?
Well, per usual, we got tickets for you to win to see just that at next week’s Hot Tub with Kurt and Kristen!
