Keith Lowell Jensen's comedy CD debut

It's a pleasure to be able to know Keith Lowell Jensen, see him grow as a comedian in the last 10 years, and objectively be able to listen to his debut comedy CD and genuinely laugh out loud throughout. Sometimes when friends give you shit to review, you're torn because you don't want to hurt their feelings but need to give your readers an honest opinion, too. Luckily I didn't have to worry with this one.

Recorded live at the very small Luna's Cafe in Sacramento, there's an intimacy in "To the Moon" that you rarely get with some of the more slick larger club or arena performances. I never bought in to the whole comedian as a rock star bullshit of Dane Cook, so it's refreshing to hear this work on a small scale. Luna's seats maybe 50 people tops.

The jokes are great and genuine. None of that lie-filled "crazy shit happened to me yesterday that never really happened" nonsense that I hate so much. Good observational humor that is a great blend of smart, wacky, and self-depreciating. With topics that include his continuation school experiences, being "hella gay at being straight", and Microsoft Vista jokes, this CD is unique. The best compliment that I can give is that Keith doesn't remind me of any other comedian.

Of course, what do you expect from a guy who's comedic alter-ego is a human fly?
