Aristocratii

Keith Lowell Jensen is one of the four comedians from The Coexist? Comedy Tour, that I had the chance to interview some time ago for Punchline.ro. He’s The Atheist Comedian. A kind of Richard Dawkins with a cold and godlike sense of irony. Not your average Comedy Central type of comedian, but a club comic, a touring comic, a working comic. The kind I really appreciate.

Opening the CD case
And he’s just got out a brand new CD, actually his debut comedy CD called “To The Moon (Live at Luna’s)”. Though this is not the set he initially intended to record, it’s a great one. At first he wanted to tape the “well-developed and well-rehearsed” (in his own words) atheist themed set, but in one of the three nights dedicated to the recording he got the idea to capture his newer club material so that… this CD happened.

After a really nice sarcastic intro joke, the CD had a pretty slow start for me, because of all the local references I obviously didn’t get. But soon topics changed and the laughing out loud all alone in my room started. “Kid in the Bar!”, “I Fucked Her (Time Travel Joke)”, “Porn with Buddies” and “Porn Backwards” really tickled my sense of humor.

Hitting the pause button
No you don’t!

I was pleasantly surprised by the fact that I wasn’t able to deconstruct every joke into a specific mathematics formula. In other words, it was original. And no useless or nonsensical social commentary that I’m sometimes just sick of. Only fair and insightful jokes.
A great listen, all ending in a wonderfully crafted story that reminded me of Woody Allen’s stand-up.
