In short, he's a genius. 

Product Description

Stand Up! Records is proud to release the newest addition to their rapidly growing comedy family, John Bowman. And when we say release we mean; unleash. What does a grown man who appears to have severe ADD, a touch of Tourrette’s Syndrome and a mild case of Hemorrhoids do for a living? Stand-up comedy, of course. It has been said that genius and insanity are twin brothers, and we believe within John Bowman those twins are conjoined. The comic for the thinking man who doesn’t like to think too much. He’s perfected the art of smart comedy, made it palatable for the masses, and now he’s ready to bring it to your house. John is a manic (or maniac?) comedian with a bug eyed view of the world who starts shooting his mouth off first and asks questions later. This is the guy in the lunchroom who would make you laugh until milk came out of your nose or you had an unfortunate accident, whichever came first. Get this CD and you’ll see what we mean. He has appeared on episodes Seinfeld, Miami Vice and has the distinction of being the last debut comic on The Tonight Show with Johnny Carson, who had to retire after meeting him. Nobody is safe at a John Bowman show, and now you can listen to him in the safety of your home with “In Stink.” Then, be sure to look for him in your neighborhood… in the bushes, under your car, peeking in your window, as well as your local comedy club. And bring an extra pair of clean underwear, just in case.

5.0 out of 5 stars Let's thank Lewis Black, April 27, 2005

I happened to see John Bowman perform as an opening act for Lewis Black about a month ago, and as soon as he finished his act I went to the merchandise table and bought this CD. John is very funny--while he was performing I kept thinking that I should have heard of him before now. I'm not the best at describing a comedian's style of comedy, but if you like Lewis Black, Patton Oswalt, David Cross, then you will probably find John funny. One warning: after listening to this CD you may find the phrase, "I'm a Ford Truck Man, That's all I Drive" stuck in your head. But it's worth it.

One of the funniest comedians I've ever seen! Sometimes comedy doesn't translate as well in audio only. This cd captures the routine I saw - all of it - very well. If you're a comedy fan, you'll love this; John's material is unique & original.
