Album Premiere: Comedy To Fall Asleep To
Normally I would write a clever essay or love poem, but today I’m mixing it up with a nation-shocking announcement. My new album “Comedy To Fall Asleep To” premiers on SiriusXM’s Laugh USA and is available in the Sirius app. If you’re worried about accessing it, it’s a free 3 or 4 month trial. You can listen to my album and then Howard Stern and then ESPN radio and then Disney Hits radio, for free… for four whole months.
I named it “Comedy To Fall Asleep To” because of all the die-hard fans who have messaged me with praise like, “I love your albums, I play them all the time when I’m having trouble falling asleep.” Also, more than one podcast listener has asked me to put soothing bed time readings on YouTube.
I couldn’t be more humbled to be able to provide this incredible service to the insomniacs of the world for whom all the melatonin, Xanax, and Klonopin can’t get the job done—absolutely tickled to be able to give these struggling souls an effective bridge from alert wakefulness into deep slumber.
While my stand-up is known for being edgy and fraught and fraught with polarizing political commentary, Laugh USA features family friendly comedy, so you can actually play this one for the kids if you’d like. And yes there are jokes about birds and Disney and Jeff Bezos.
I know, you want to know who I’m going to thank. Well first of all, I’d like to thank you. Yes, YOU.
Second, thank you to Acme Comedy Club in Minneapolis.
Third, thank you to my friend and Queens neighbor audio savant Tony Deyo for editing this entire album and mixing all the audio. A bonus thank you to Tony for hand-delivering me a hot Thanksgiving dinner last year (Tony Deyo, or Tony Robbins??)
Four, my friend and NY public golf course buddy TJ Young for designing the album cover art. I asked him for a “Goodnight Moon” vibe and I think he nailed it.
I feel like this cat is TJ, if TJ was a cat.
Five, Todd Behrens (yes I’m still doing thank yous) for stepping away from his Minneapolis NPR gig to record my Acme shows.
Six, Dave Chappelle for guiding me and advising me every step of the way on this.
**One of these six is humor
As you know, I’m also a guru at evaluating stocks and corporations, and with SiriusXM’s acquisition of Pandora and my “Comedy To Fall Asleep To” album, the stock now sits at a pretty enticing valuation, along with a juicy growth story developing with the huge surge in the auto industry. I’m upgrading SiriusXM’s stock from “strong buy” to “extra strong buy”. Certainly if my album gets played a lot I could see this stock going to the moon.
Thank you in advance to Rolling Stone Magazine for naming “Comedy To Fall Asleep To” the best comedy album of the decade so far. I remain humbled.
