This album is “Lunch” baby!

Mark Normand is a total mensch! After being ignored by the comedy gatekeepers for not being a “theater act” (which is frustrating as the exposure from a widely circulated special would put him in that category. The comedy equivalent of a entry level job looking for five years of experience), Mark took his career into his own hands and put out the special on his own YouTube channel (151k+ views after 12 hours at the time of writing). Then he does his fans one better, by giving them a second recording of the act, with over 8 minutes of extra material. Living in a pandemic period of history, this is giving away the polio vaccine for free for Stand Up, twice.
Once the world comes back from quarantine to our new normal (as there is no way to go back to pre-pandemic life) there is no way that Mark doesn’t see a uptick in his shows being sold out and getting those theater shows.
In summation; this album is great, the YouTube special is great, Mark Normand is great.
