Editorial Reviews
Michael Ian Black may be joking, but he is indeed getting very famous. A stand-up comedian, actor, and writer Michael is known for his character Phil on the hit TV show ED, as a member of the cult comedy legends Stella, on VH1's clip series, and in numerous other projects (including the legendary comedy troupe The State and his new breakout podcast Mike and Tom eat snacks). The new CD contains an hour of his latest standup and will be released in conjunction with the premiere of his new on-air standup special of the same name.

So, you know how sometimes in a comedy special the comedian will be talking about something and then demonstrate it using the timeless art of pantomime? Like how certain people walk, or dance, or gesture? And while you're watching the special, it's hilarious, because like all good physical comedy, it has a transformative effect, the performer becomes that other person, or if they're describing a situation, you feel like you're there. BUT, if you're listening to a comedy album all you get is, "So, I go....[silence while the comedian performs their pantomimetic act]" followed by roars and howls of laughter from the comedy club/theatre/arena audience. And it's kind of frustrating as a listener. Well, this happens a lot on this album. It's a good album, if you liked "I Am A Wonderful Man" you'll like this.

This comedy album follows suit with the man's other comedic work, but the routine loses a good deal of humor in the transfer to audio. Many of his key points are conveyed in physical/visual enactments. Facial expressions, landing poses, and examination stances are lost in the crossover. The album is still very funny if, and well worth a listen, but a video recording of the routine would yield much funnier results for certain.
