Shane Mauss - Jokes to make my parents proud - Going to be Huge!

Shane is going to be huge, and not just because of the cream I gave him.  Shane's got the talent to take it to the big time and his debut album, Jokes To Make My Parents Proud, doesn't disappoint.  Part-observational and part-autobiographical, Shane takes headlines and everyday experiences and sucker punches you into seeing it through his eyes, with tons of hilarity and wit.  I can't imagine a future where Shane doesn't land a gig as somekind of funny sidekick constantly joking at the cost of some stiff actor on Thursday night NBC.  You can pick up this gem through itunes and amazon.  Shane is touring all over the place, when he stops by your town, go to a show.

Tommy Johnagin - Stand-up Comedy - Class Act, Best Set Ever

Tommy Johnagin is a completely original autobiographical comedian, his debut album "Stand-up Comedy" is a natural extention of that funny bone.  Tommy is also unique in the fact that he does not curse, sure he has some adult topical conversations, but somehow he always keeps it clean.  His set about his accidental visit to the OBGYN to get a sports physical is the funniest set I have ever heard,  I was crying because I was laughing so hard.  Unbelievable, yet, everyone of his jokes hits home, as it could have been you or me, or Tommy Johnigan.  Tommy's album can be picked up at amazon, itunes, and rooftopcomedy.com

Tommy was the runner-up in the previous season's Last Comic Standing.  He's won numerous awards most notably "Best New Face" at the Just for Laughs festival in Montreal.

Moshe Kasher - Everyone You Know Is Going To Die - 2009's best new comic

Moshe Kasher, what can I say, super smart comic - not nerdy comic.  His album, "Everyone You Know Is Going To Die", is combination of his awesomely smart socially liberal commentary, with the addition of some totally hilarious studio cuts.  If you're a right-leaning conservative, I don't think this album is for you.  Moshe, one of the many awesome Bay Area comics, has won the Aspen rooftop comedy festival in 2009 and was name Itunes best new comic in 2009. There really isn't a good word in english for this album...great...fantastic...surprising, I guess I mean astounding!
Moshe's album can be purchased at rooftopcomedy.com, itunes, and amazon.com
His website is a great place to find more info about him, moshekasher.com
Moshe is preforming all over, catch him at the Laffhole in Seattle, WA on 4/20

Dan Cummins - Crazy with a Capital F - Comedian with the best timing!

Dan Cummins' second album, "Crazy with a Capital F" is his second masterpiece.  When recomending a comedy album to someone you know little about, you can't go wrong with Dan.  His odd sense of humor and perfect timing appeals to the blue-collar comedy redneck to the internet Failblog fan.  Even though I really think his first album, "Revenge is Near", is just a tad bit better, "Crazy with a Capital F" still gets high marks.
The best thing to do is get drunk and order this album online, because shopping is always fun, getting drunk is always fun, getting suprise gifts from yourself is even better!
Dan can be seen on Comedy Central Presents.

Kris Tinkle - Almost Awesome - Must Have!

Kris Tinkle’s debut album, “Almost Awesome” is much more than the title gives it credit for.  From the first to last track, Kris puts out punch lines, explicatives, and hilarious stories again and again and again.  Kris tackles his own obstacles in life, not in a feel sorry for me way, but much more in a Hey, God gave me lemons, I’m making some fucking good lemonade way. His ability to simultaneously poke fun at the handicap in a way that makes the listener, again not feel sorry for them, but to realize, relate, and understand that everyone has problems.  Great album for probably the most underrated comedian performing today, outside of Canada.

Kris’s album can be purchased at rooftopcomedy.com, Amazon.com, and on Itunes.

Kris is currently performing in the San Francisco area.

Aziz Anasari - Best Comedy Album of 2010!

Aziz Ansari’s first full length album, “Intimate Moments for a Sensual Evening” never lets up the laughs.  Aziz has found success as a comic actor, staring in the NBC TV hit Parks and Rec as Tom the carefree player who’s always getting let down, and also as Randy the obnoxious blue comedian in the movie “Funny People” staring Adam Sandler and Seth Rogen.  In this album, Aziz tells you his beef with thread counts, his cousin, and how he is experiencing his up and coming fame.  Aziz through out the entire album, sounds like one of your best friends from high school, the kind of friend who let’s you be yourself and never acts like he’s something he’s not around you.  Enjoy Aziz’s stories, you won’t be let down.

Aziz is all over the place, now I know he’s performing in London, where the food apparently sucks.

Catch him on Parks and Recs, on NBC, Thursday nights.

Here’s a clip of his stand-up material: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2eaxAipt8rA
