Recorded at Go Bananas in Cincinnati, “Think Fast” is a traditional jokes-in-a-nightclub album, focusing on Chalifoux’s experience as a father raising young kids and includes stories ranging from his disastrous marriage proposal, the time his response to a wrong-number text went viral, the joys of social media, squaring off with Xbox cyberbullies, his failures as a preschool parent, a bizarre first date, and 21st-century marriage problems.

On That’s Clinton! Hammond, one of SNL’s longest-running cast members, brings his personal highs and lows to life with fearless candor and hilarious, spot-on impressions of everyone from Sean Connery to George W. Bush. From the depths of drug addiction to being honored by five presidents, Hammond tells us the incredible stories from an extraordinary life. And after impersonating Bill Clinton for 14 years, and sometimes being mistaken for him, he pulls back the curtain on all the ways that Clinton has become a part of his life—and all the illicit things people have tried to offer him in exchange for a Clinton impression. From a true comedy legend comes a collection of stories so good, you’ll want to “put it in a lockbox.”

Killian is the type of comedian that is hard not to like - with his boy-next-door image and southern charm, he manages to get away with things that might land some others in an awkward position. Killian has a knack for commanding young audiences, frat boys and sorority girls, while also offering the goods to be enjoyed by an older generation. Featuring some great work on the guitar as well, Killian supplements his stand-up with some great original songs for an added bonus.

A misconception of stand-up is that it has to be about jokes. The set-ups, punch lines, bait and switch; but Chris Fairbanks moves beyond this. That’s not to say he doesn’t deliver some hilarious turns and jokes, it’s rather the real meat of his comedy comes more from something else: seemingly stream of consciousness comedic rambling. He’s a master of a nervous, almost jazz-like spontaneous prose, so free-flowing yet forward-moving it makes one wonder whether this is brilliant scripting or just damned good improv.

Chuck Watkins was born into, and later exiled from, The Future. Raised in Austin, Texas, Chuck began performing standup after college and quickly established himself as an odd, clever, and innovative talent. In 2008, Chuck was selected to perform at the Just for Laughs Festival in Montreal as a "New Face", as well on the Amped musical comedy show. The following year, Chuck performed on the fourth season of Live at Gotham on Comedy Central. His first album for Rooftop Comedy Records, titled The Sophistimicated Wit of Chuck Watkins, Esquire, was released to wide critical acclaim.

Amy Anderson's debut comedy album, recorded live at Rooster T. Feathers Comedy Club in Sunnyvale, California, covers growing up Asian (and funny, of course) in America.

Bryan Bruner is a real guy’s comic. He feels your pain from when you drunkenly fall off the chair and hurt your pride. He feels the strain in your wallet when you go to the cupboard and discover that you’re out of Doritos. If your looking for a comparison, Bruner might best be described as a poor man’s Nick Swardson. And by poor I mean that it’s likely he doesn’t have gas money until he finishes his set and it’s likely he still owes his pot dealer fifty bucks.

With a name like Beehner, one can either resign to be the butt of other people's jokes or write their own. The hilarious Johnny Beehner chose the latter and has been touring extensively, bringing his stories of childhood missteps, newly married life, and The Olive Garden to fans all over. Self-described as a "fifth grader trying to figure out how to be the newly married responsible pet owner", Beehner began his comedy career in Milwaukee while attending college.

With his latest release, Shot in the Face, comedian Nick Griffin picks up right where he left off a little more than a year ago. This is a solid follow-up to Bring Out the Monkey and serves to solidify his reputation as an original and consistent performer. Where Griffin especially shines is when he approaches love and relationships. His style is not merely a "Hey, didja notice how we're different" routine but instead he really takes a good look at just how we function and interact... and how it's usually pretty ridiculous.

Comedian Andi Smith, armed with a self-described "dry sense of humor," has been making audiences laugh for the last several years. She flirted with national exposure on NBC's Last Comic Standing - the 34-year-old Smith got booted fairly early, twice - but the St. Louis-based jokeslinger has kept at it, releasing her debut album Home Perm in 2008. Her direct wit and Midwestern charm have helped her win over audiences at home and abroad for years.

On his debut album, Wizard Hello, comedian Alex Koll immediately pulls the audience into his mystical world, presenting himself as a wizard (of course) and describing the ins-and-outs of “wizard comedy,” which apparently involves telling jokes to magical crystals.

Adam Norwest is the winner of the 2012 CMT Next Big Comic competition, having beaten out the other competition in online voting as well as the CMT live showcase at the legendary Stardome theatre in Birmingham, AL. On One of a Kind, Adam leaves nothing off of the table as he offers laughs spanning subjects from the normal to bizarre. Performing comedy from a very early age, it's astonishing how early Adam has found his voice. Check out his debut solo album and get to know this star before he rises.

While some people might block a late night zucchini experience from their memory forever, Adam relishes the humor of such odd experiences. Adam's life proves to be a terrific source of material, inspiring his dead-on observational style. Hilariously awkward employment stories mix with refreshingly bizarre takes on pop culture.

Comedian Andrés Du Bouchet’s Naked Trampoline Hamlet is regarded one of the most innovative comedy albums of its time. Conan staff writer Du Bouchet has gotten to where he is in the comedy world through his mastery in absurdist humor, which fleshes itself out beautifully on this hour-long album, wherein he performs an packed bag of hilariously colorful characters.
