Read More Truly, the worst stand-up in the world, Neil Hamburger, a has-been comedian that should've retired 15 years ago.
His jokes are intentionally off-timing, he spills his liquor all over, and he constantly coughs…

NEIL HAMBURGER

What's funny about Neil Hamburger is that he's not very funny. Wow, that sounded like a Chinese proverb. America's Funnyman Neil Hamburger is doing a number of dates, possibly in support of Incident In Cambridge, Mass. … but I do not see Cambridge listed.
Either way, we are excited to be awkwardly and uncomfortably laughing at Neil's jokes when he comes to St Paul in Minnesota.

KUMAIL NANJIANI
twitter.com/kumailn
Kumail Nanjiani is a Pakistani American stand-up comic, but you might have seen him on TNT's Franklin & Bash show or Comedy Central's The Meltdown With Jonah and Kumail (hint: he plays Kumail).
Nanjiani's Beta Male was released last month (July 23rd) via Comedy Central Records, but I only just discovered it. The comedy CD (and DVD bundle) is quite funny. I think only Nanjiani could tell these jokes, about his mother's observations, "The Elephant Man", "Call of Duty" game level at the city that Nanjiani grew up in, running out of printer ink, and Muslim/Porn.
If you saw Nanjiani's Comedy Central one-hour special, you can still enjoy the CD/DVD combo because the disc will feature unaired and uncensored jokes, plus a special post-show audience Q&A (his jokes sometime requires feedback from the audience, which make it for a unique show).

ILIZA SHLESINGER
iliza.com
Iliza Shlesinger is releasing her comedy album War Paint digitally this September 3rd, with a CD/DVD combo coming out November 5th, via New Wave Dynamics. She remains the youngest and only woman to hold the title of NBC's Last Comic Standing.
I got a chance to listen to War Paint and I can hear in Shlesinger's voice how excited it was for her to do stand-up in her hometown in Dallas. The thing about Shlesinger is that she certainly know and understand the single woman's psyche. You get the impression that she went out a lot with her women friends to hunt young men.
Some jokes didn't work well for audio only, for instance the "really want to go" (funny face?) and Shlesinger's talking about a Donald-ducking man doing something with his thing. This joke is probably really funny (or revolting) if you see it.
Her jokes tend to a bit on the toilet side, so not recommended if you're under 18. As vulgar as Shlesinger can be, she has issue saying "the p-word" (not penis) or the vagina (which she said sounds like an Indian casino)… instead she names them 'snootch'.
I find that I like it when she tells more nerdy jokes (name-dropping things like Silver Surfer, Hentai, Verizon, CSI Miami, Skyrim, is always a bonus), perhaps I'm just hoping she's a comic book, gaming, and television junkie.
Iliza Shlesinger's War Paint is hitting the digital market this Tuesday, via New Wave Dynamics. Look for the CD/DVD this November 5th.
Trivia: Iliza Shlesinger taught me a new word from her crustacean joke: a "beejz".

KURT BRAUNOHLER
kurtbraunohler.tumblr.com
Variety put Kurt Braunohler on their annual "10 Comics to Watch" list, New York lists him as top 50 Funniest New Yorkers, while Comedy Central named him as "Comic to Watch". Clearly Braunohler is doing something right.
Braunohler released debut comedy album How Do I Land? last week (August 20th). What is most interesting about this is that Kill Rock Stars is releasing the album. If you read our coverage of KRS over the years, you know they were most famous for signing bands like Gossip and Bikini Kill. As far as I know it, this is KRS' first comedy album.
In support of How Do I Land?, Kurt Braunohler is currently on tour:

THE REIGNING MONARCHS
thereigningmonarchs.com
It all started six years ago when standup comic and author of the bestselling book He's Just Not Into You, Greg Behrendt with the help of guitarist Michael Eisenstein (remember that band Letters To Cleo?) wrote the musical intro to Behrendt's comedy tour.
Since then, Greg & Mike formed The Reigning Monarchs. The Los Angeles band raised over $30k on Indie Go Go, exceeding their goal of $10k. So, the band will record Black Sweater Massacre, and document and go on tour, thanks to their fans.
Look for Black Sweater Massacre next month (September 24th, 2013), in the meantime, the band previewed their lead single, "Murder Your Summer", on their Bandcamp.

JOHN CAPARULO

If you watch Chelsea Lately, you'll know John Caparulo simply as "Cap". Regarding Chelsea Handler, Cap had this to say: "It's like hanging out at my buddy's house and getting a check for it! It really is the most fun I've had since I got into comedy. I've known Chelsea since we were both doing 6-minute spots in the attic at The Comedy Store on Sunset Strip. I never thought she really liked me. Come to think of it... I'm still not sure."
Anyway, the comedian will be releasing Come Inside Me on CD/DVD this September 17th, 2013. The combo pack features exclusive Behind-The-Scenes footage. If you have a Netflix, you can start streaming Come Inside Me starting September 5.
Come Inside Me was recorded at The South Point Hotel & Casino in Las Vegas to let fans take a peek inside the kimono to show the standup comedy side to him.
