“Good news guys. I don’t have to go to bed anymore. Cause it looks like all my dreams are coming true in the daytime.”
~Kyle Kinane – Way of the World
The man is sad, the man likes booze, the man likes 80’s power ballads, and he’s funny as a motherfucker. This is Kyle Kinane’s first album and he…fucking…kills.
His stand up solely focuses on his personal experiences. It doesn’t go into political land or lofty high in the sky theories as so many comics do now. No, he sticks with what he knows, being a art school graduate with no job skills, a heavy drinking problem, and no real future ahead of him. And that sounds completely isolated.
But no, everything he says is totally relatable from having soul-sucking jobs, to yelling at the TV, to loneliness. All of it funny as shit. But, at the end of the album you’re sad that it’s over. Not that you just listened to a sad dude saying sad stuff for an hour and now you’re bummed.
There are a…fuckload…of funny ass bits, lines, concepts, etc etc on this fantastic, magic wonder, ride of an album. Talking about blaming your parents for a drunk driving accident, to laughing at yourself because you still believe in yourself, to fucking dinosaur shampoo. Dino-fucking-saur shampoo. Amazing. And they all require you to listen to them again because you don’t believe what you’re hearing at first.
This is without a doubt one of the best comedy albums this year, hell probably this decade, but then again we’re only a year into it. Get it and laugh at sadness. Right in its fucking emotional face.
