Sweet Beth is the debut album from Beth Stelling and it’s a perfect storm of stand-up comedy. Everything you hope to find in a comedian is present and accounted for: Spot-on timing, one hilarious story after the next, an odd relationship with one’s dad, and your mom’s dog humping the guy you bring home to meet the family.

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.

If you’ve ever swiped right on the wrong person, considered smothering your spouse for snoring louder than the #6 train, been terrorized by a cat or been scared of getting older, you’ll love these fearless, funny takes on modern life from three veteran New York comedians. Joe DeVito, Kyle Ocasio and Vicky Kuperman team up for their stand-up album, Three's Comedy. Between DeVito's dead-on timing and unexpected twists, Ocasio's candid and hilarious honesty on motherhood and Kuperman's spot-on takes on dogs vs cats and her Russian roots, Three's Comedy offers three unique, hysterical and highly entertaining comedy styles and perspectives on the world.

Davis’ humor delves into everything from parenthood and drugs to the similarities between court and church – nothing is off limits, and the comedian can just about saying anything he wants and get away with it thanks to that southern charm and likable personality. At one point, he has his audience in hysterics due to his thoughts on what made the town of Enumclaw, Washington famous - that in 2005, a man died while having sex with a horse.

Dan Gabriel got bit by the comedy bug early in life. Dan grew up immersed in the world-famous San Francisco comedy scene where his mom took him to comedy shows when he was just in grade school. While other kids were trading Garbage Pail Kids, Dan was trying to make his friends listen to Steve Martin albums on his travel-case record player. In college, he stepped up on stage for the first time and was instantly hooked. Since then Dan has worked his way from opening act to nationally touring headliner.

Jesse Joyce doesn't do cocaine. It's not his fault that he has 'a look and demeanor that seems to imply I do a lot of blow.' But his jittery, rapid-fire delivery, coupled with a keen pair of 'enormous coke eyes,' helps Joyce deliver big on his debut album, Pro Joyce. Joyce, a well-established roast writer who frequently opened for Greg Giraldo, pairs a sharp wit with precisely the right amount of self-deprecation.

Tabari McCoy returns for his sophomore album with enough of the cunning wit and nerdy humor to go around to a packed audience live at Go Bananas on February 8, 2018.

Mike is a former police officer from Louisville, Kentucky. He's a regular guest on The Bob and Tom show, with TV credits ranging from Oprah to CBS Morning News to Good Morning America. His album, Comedy Police, is a mainstay for comedy fans and offers some home-bred insight on avoiding traffic violations, staying in the good graces of your spouse, and raising a house full of children.

The title of the new album from Joe List, So Far No Good, could not be more of a misnomer. Perhaps he just didn't want to raise expectations too high, or maybe it would have been considered tacky to go with, "Are You Kidding Me, This CD Friggin' Rocks." No matter what the case, you can rest assured that with List, you're in for a good time.

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.

In Blake Wexler’s latest album, he jokes about night terrors, taking PMS medication for a hangover, and his gleeful discovery of a legendary pitcher’s LinkedIn account. To close it all out, Blake tells a 17-minute deeply personal, emotional, and darkly funny story about a family illness.

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.

Not that Robert Buscemi deceives the IRS when he writes "comedian" on the occupation line of his tax return; it’s just that his overriding job is engineer of his nonstop train of thought. On Palpable, the paradoxical Buscemi takes the audience at the Lincoln Lodge in Chicago and listeners everywhere else on an often-impressive express ride through his equally corny and ingenious, grandiose and ingenuous, clownish and refined comic mind.

Chicago alternative comedy scene legend Robert Buscemi followed up his debut album with One Pretty Peacock which finds Robert shaking things up regarding his style of delivery. Heavily influenced by his time spent on Twitter, Buscemi rapid-fires one liners, zinging the crowd with random, idiosyncratic thoughts that, while short, evolve and connect in a brilliant way. Strap in and try to keep up!

Born in the former Soviet Republic city of Minsk, Daniel Kinno delivers insightful and raucous narratives on topics ranging from the menial tasks of daily life, to relationships, pop culture, and his unusual Russian heritage with a truly unique perspective. In 1996, Kinno moved to America first settling in Columbus, Ohio. Kinno can be recognized from television where his stand up has been featured on MTV, The Game Show Network, The WB, and NBC.

Eddie Ifft has been both pissing people off and making people laugh his whole life. After a string of dead-end jobs, including being "asked to leave" his father's own insurance company, it was only then did Ifft step onto the stage at an open mic night in his hometown of Pittsburgh, Philadelphia, to see what "two double gin and tonics…a lot of childhood insecurity" and his gift-of-the-controversial gab could do.

Nick Griffin's material has been described as dry, edgy, cranky and hilarious. And Nick's new album has all of that. Bring Out The Monkey includes Nick's thoughts on punching cops, old potheads, men crying, women talking and the cramp in Brad Pitt's penis. The result is a series of short routines that will make you laugh and a few punchlines you will steal to sound funny around the water cooler.

[Contains explicit content] Maggie Faris joins Audible for her sophomore album, A Dingus Among Us, highlighting the signature goofiness that has endeared Maggie to anyone who has had the privilege of hearing her perform. This album is compiled of some of her favorite jokes to use on the road, from silly one liners to the absurd storytelling that has carved out a perfect seat for her in the renowned Minneapolis comedy scene.

With a name like Isaac Witty, you'd have, no, you'd better be funny, especially when telling not one, not two, but three consecutive cell phone jokes, the 21st century equivalent of the 20th century stand-up standby: the airline-food lament. It sounds like an improbable way to hook a likely cell-absorbed crowd, but Witty (his given name, incidentally, not a gimmicky stage name) lands three successive punch lines at Go Bananas Comedy Club in Cincinnati on his way to a knockout performance on Zero Balance.

This girl's got sass. After questioning a silent audience member at Mottley's Comedy Club in Boston who Kelly MacFarland presumed was questioning her running regimen: "I lost weight a few years ago, and then I was hungry and I was like 'F--k this, I need a cake!" Awarded Best of the Fest at the 2010 Aspen Rooftop Comedy Festival, MacFarland's debut album, Bombshell is the result of that win. And she still feels victorious here.
