Ghoulia Rossi's latest offering feels like catching a soon-to-be-huge indie band a few years before they make it big. This unrecognized dynamic explains why her album slipped under new release Tuesday's radar. Her jokes are funny. She has a point of view. Her material needs some development and sometimes the set-up is better than the punchline, but you can hear the potential. She has a good looking voice; it's strong and has a perspective to share. She is smart too, which is important to me. If a comic is not dropping jokes that make me laugh deeply, then they need to be intelligent. I'd recommend Guilia Rozzi to fans of Jen Kirkman, Tig Notaro, Laurie Kilmartin, Todd Barry, Cameron Esposito and Paul F Tomkins. Also, she is a writer and you can find her columns and features on her website.
