This album recording was supposed to happen almost a year ago, but due to some unforeseen circumstances, the recordings had to be pushed to this month on Monday Apr. 20th and Apr. 27th.

Still, we’re happy that an album capturing one of the best and longest running weekly comedy shows in the country, Hot Tub with Kurt & Kristen, is happening all the same.

Two tapings, presented by our good friends at CleftClips, will feature, of course, the amazing duo of Kurt Braunohler and Kristen Schaal as well as Kyle Kinane, Karen Kilgariff, Eugene Mirman, Heather Lawless, Aparna Nancherla, Eddie Pepitone, Emily Heller, Beth Stelling, Andrés du Bouchet, and John Roberts all at Hot Tub’s LA home, The Virgil.

Pretty swell, huh?

Kill Rock Stars just keeps adding to their already great comedy discography, which includes comedy albums from Hari Kondabolu, Cameron Esposito, and Kurt Braunohler.

Tickets will go on sale later this week. We’ll be sure to tell you exactly when that happens so you have a chance to not miss out on being part of Hot Tub history.
