Comedian Tom Segura is incapable of doing an Asian accent. He can't dazzle you with puppets or an acoustic guitar. What Tom Segura can do is tell jokes. Jokes about black people, Mexican people, homeless people, little people, and, yes, his balls. But he’s light enough, endearing enough and downright wacky enough to tackle these topics without sounding like a fulminating Tea Party candidate or a Ragin' Palin apostle on his delightfully deranged and dippy debut album.

Before his 1-hour Netflix special and autobiographical book, Moshe Kasher was just an Oakland, CA comic who was getting roasted and toasted by the internet - and returning the favor. Kasher delves into the dark world of YouTube comments and offers the unique perspective of a Jewish kid raised by deaf parents in crack-ridden Oakland, CA. The results are both unique and astonishing.

In Blake Wexler’s latest album, he jokes about night terrors, taking PMS medication for a hangover, and his gleeful discovery of a legendary pitcher’s LinkedIn account. To close it all out, Blake tells a 17-minute deeply personal, emotional, and darkly funny story about a family illness.

On That’s Clinton! Hammond, one of SNL’s longest-running cast members, brings his personal highs and lows to life with fearless candor and hilarious, spot-on impressions of everyone from Sean Connery to George W. Bush. From the depths of drug addiction to being honored by five presidents, Hammond tells us the incredible stories from an extraordinary life.

From a true comedy legend comes a collection of stories so good, you’ll want to “put it in a lockbox.”

Eddie Ifft has been both pissing people off and making people laugh his whole life. After a string of dead-end jobs, including being "asked to leave" his father's own insurance company, it was only then did Ifft step onto the stage at an open mic night in his hometown of Pittsburgh, Philadelphia, to see what "two double gin and tonics…a lot of childhood insecurity" and his gift-of-the-controversial gab could do.

Dwayne mixes storytelling, razor-sharp wit and unparalleled charm to deliver a new comedy classic. The album is an epic offering and an extension to Dwayne's already impressive resume.

With Gillespie, life is approached in a full sprint, like a kid on vacation tearing down the beach to jump into the sea. He has come up with a fun game to play while in the car (albeit not one that is suitable for women. Or children) and he proves how much of a glass-half-full guy he is when he reveals the upside to being fined $10,000 for hitting a construction worker with your vehicle. Gillespie speaks freely and unfiltered, which is quite welcome. I mean, let's be honest, those guys in bars who play the electronic punching game really are d***heads.

Comedian Andi Smith, armed with a self-described "dry sense of humor," has been making audiences laugh for the last several years. She flirted with national exposure on NBC's Last Comic Standing - the 34-year-old Smith got booted fairly early, twice - but the St. Louis-based jokeslinger has kept at it, releasing her debut album Home Perm in 2008. Her direct wit and Midwestern charm have helped her win over audiences at home and abroad for years.

Mark Ellis is likable and confident on stage, he has a decent amount of men-and-women-are-different material, and he’s quick on his feet when he interacts with the crowd. He even tosses in an occasional groaner that he can't help but laugh at when the reaction it gets is less-than-overwhelming (and deservedly so). But Ellis shines the most when he strays from the standard comedian’s fare and delves into his own unique territory.

Dry, inventive, and disturbing, Pat Dixon's second full-length comedy album takes on religion, dating, gambling, and of course, Civil War reenactments.
