Nikki Glaser Explains How Little We Care About Maiden Names in Her New Hour Special

comedy central, comedy special, hour special, maiden name, nikki glaser, perfect, preview, stand up

One of the sticking points of marriage that probably doesn’t get brought up enough is the one of a wife automatically taking her husband’s last name, leaving her last name out in the cold.

Fortunately, Nikki Glaser perfectly shines a light on the issue in her new hour Comedy Central special “Perfect” and illustrates how little we collectively regard a maiden name.

Oh yeah, you should definitely watch Perfect when it premieres on Saturday, April 9 at 11PM on Comedy Central. It’s damn good.

A record from Chris Garcia has been a long time coming given everything he’s done leading up to it including numerous Comedy Central appearances, WTF with Marc Maron, and This American Life just to name a few.

Garcia more than lives up to expectations with this very first comedy album, “Laughing and Crying at the Same Time”.

This hour really exemplifies the fine comedic performance and craft that Garcia has honed over the years. Observational, personal, sincere, silly, structured and deconstructionist, Chris strikes a balance in almost every way imaginable here.

Please get and enjoy Laughing at Crying at the Same Time fresh from AST Records as soon as you can.

Also, you can get a vinyl release that’s due out this Summer.

This Is Not Happening’s latest story comes from The Daily Show’s Al Madrigal and how he went from never knowing that he would ever be a so-called Latino comic to doing gigs where he followed people doing stand-up in Spanish.

Get Josh Gondelman’s New Album “Physical Whipser”

comedy album, josh gondelman, rooftop comedy, stand up

&amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;lt;a href=“http://rooftopcomedy.bandcamp.com/album/physical-whisper”&amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;gt;Physical Whisper by Josh Gondelman&amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;lt;/a&amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;gt;

It’s believed by many that all comedians are a heap of depressed quasi-sociopaths that just happened to find an outlet in comedy.

Josh Gondelman is undeniable proof against that.

Gondelman maintains his identity as an optimist in his comedy while still pointing out the overlooked absurdities of every day life and being really funny about it. His sharp, clever writing, unwavering positivity, and awareness of the not-so-positive world around him make for a really great hour on his new album Physical Whisper.

Off of Rooftop Comedy’s label, Physical Whisper is out this Friday, Mar. 18th and you can get it here.

Cameron Esposito is a shining beacon both as a comedian and a person. She has so much going on between developing her own show and having a special come out on Seeso that it makes us 2016 might be one banner year in many banner years that Cameron has coming.

So, it comes as no surprise to us that she nailed her Late Late Show set sporting a great white leather biker jacket and talking about her dear, wonderful wife.

Watch the set here.

Conan managed to break another stand-up that deserves a spotlight into the late night circuit with Portland’s own (by way of Texas) Shane Torres.

Shane not only gives a solid debut, but some solid advice to deal with dead relatives’ unfinished business.

Please Enjoy Carmen Lynch’s Set on Conan

carmen lynch, conan, late night, stand up

Carmen Lynch is the latest stand-up to perform on Conan and not only does she garner applause breaks throughout, but shows that there is original way to talk about a topic that’s overly commonplace in stand-up, dating.

Coming from a personal place, Carmen along with Rust presents a unique comedic perspective on that awful thing comedians refer to as dating (amongst other manly topics), especially since her height in particular didn’t do her many favors in regard to any romantic chase.

Watch the set here.

Watch Mary Lynn Rajskub Do Stand-Up on The Tonight Show

February 27, 2016

jimmy fallon, late night, mary lynn rajskub, stand up, tonight show

Before you knew her as Chloe O’Brian from 24, Mary Lynn Rajskub was on stage as a stand-up comedian. In fact, any time she has had away from the show over the years, she has stepped back up to the mic.

So, we’re not surprised to see her on The Tonight Show do a stand-up set last night rather than not sitting on the couch and chatting with Jimmy or winning puppies from a quiz.

As cute as puppies can be, we prefer this much more.

Get Dwayne Kennedy’s Debut Album “Oh No, It’s Dwayne Kennedy!”

February 19, 2016

comedy album, dwayne kennedy, stand up

Honestly, we have a hard time believing this is Dwayne Kennedy’s debut album as he has been so funny for such a long time. In any case, we’re glad that he has an album now, “Oh No, It’s Dwayne Kennedy”.

There is a certain great, classic feel to Dwayne’s stand-up, yet it doesn’t feel dated or out-of-touch at all, even when he ribs being on Twitter. Much of that is due to his particular angle on the black experience that’s exquisitely composed and well thought out, but also hysterically pulls no punches.

Get Oh No, It’s Dwayne Kennedy on Bandcamp or iTunes now.

Apparently, it’s $9 for black folks and “it depends” for white folks.

Watch Adam Cayton-Holland Return for 2nd Set on Conan

February 10, 2016

adam cayton holland, conan, late night, stand up

Conan remains a champion of a stand-up comedy on late night where it’s sparing elsewhere. The other time honored late night tradition of having comedians return to perform is something else that Conan and company thankfully hold up.

Sharp, seasoned veterans like Adam Cayton-Holland make it worth Conan’s while.

Watch his 2nd Conan set here.

Brooks Wheelan Heads To Germany for “Laughs in Translation” to See What’s Up with Germany’s Sense of Humor These Days

Germans are still very efficient and productive like much of the world thinks they are.

However, as Brooks Wheelan finds out in his latest episode of Laughs in Translation, the stereotype of Germany and humor (or lack there of) doesn’t quite hold up in 2016.
