THE BEST MEDICINE
We love our comedy here at ESPERANZA and two recently released albums have had us rolling in the office the past couple days. First off is the late PATRICE O'NEAL'S "MR. P." Filthy as hell, and incredibly irreverent, "MR. P" is a comedy great at the absolute top of his game. O'NEAL'S brutal, yet brilliant, honesty and unstoppable momentum literally had me, and the roaring audience on tape, doubled over at points. This is the definition of killing and while O'NEAL will be greatly missed for leaving us before his time, his last album is a testament to the indelible mark he left on comedy. Check out a clip below, and be warned, like most of O'NEAL'S material, it's filthy and super NSFW:
SNL's recent return to comedic relevance can partially be attributed to the writing of JOHN MULANEY, who joined the show's staff in 2008. The wide-eyed demeanor and mastery of language he demonstrates on "NEW IN TOWN" are now helping him emerge from the shadow of the more renowned comedians he's written for. The COMEDY CENTRAL SPECIAL, available on DVD and CD, is seriously funny stuff folks and a guarantee that you're going to be seeing a lot more of MULANEY very soon. Check out a clip below:
