Tom Segura’s ‘Thrilled’
In the comedy clubs, theaters, arenas and dive bars of America, comics are part of an animalistic kingdom that is all about survival. You’ve got the lions, the kings of the jungle who sell out every performance
Chris Killian’s ‘The Not Black Album’
His rant-driven comedy is quick and ruthless. He injects so much material into his monologues his stand-up becomes somewhat reminiscent of a young Daniel Tosh mixed with a rough cut of Christian Finnegan
Will Noonan’s ‘¡Surpriso!’
One listen to this 45-plus minute set and you can tell Will Noonan is hungry. The Bostonian is young enough to connect with the dude demographic. At the same time you are left wanting to know how he progresses a few years down the road in what should be a terrific career

Bryan Bruner’s ‘Welcome to Djibouti’

Louis C.K.’s “Live at the Beacon Theatre”

Wyatt Cenac’s “Comedy Person”
Cenac comes off as a refined and well-polished comedian with precise timing, smooth transitions and over an hour of laugh out loud material.
Joe Derosa’s “Return of the Son of Depression Auction”
