Shain Brenden! Comedian! Friend! Delight!

His new album is Either Way, Pretty Funny!

ABOUT THIS ALBUM:

On this debut album, Shain paints a picture of a guy trying his best with what he’s got: being outnumbered and bullied by the women in his family, getting kicked out of an ultrasound appointment, and defending his completely appropriate and not weird at all love of NBA rookies. He closes it all out with an original slam poem with a topic untouched by poets at large: working the drive-thru at McDonald's.

ABOUT SHAIN BRENDEN:​

When a sandstorm left his unit stranded in Afghanistan on Christmas Day, Portland-favorite and military veteran Shain Brenden did his first set during an impromptu talent show. He’s since traded in his uniform for a microphone and for over a decade has been featured on Don’t Tell Comedy, on SiriusXM Radio, and at various comedy clubs and festivals around the country. Now, Black & Filipino-American comedian, writer, and actor, Shain is proudly the second most famous person from Millington, Tennessee (after Justin Timberlake).

Daniel Van Kirk! Comedian! Actor! Writer! Podcast host! Friend! Delight! Guy with a new special out now called Rose Gold!

ABOUT ROSE GOLD:

Rose Gold is a Midwestern man’s wish that we all stop finding ways to disagree, start high-fiving strangers again, and party in Wisconsin. Daniel laments the assumptions we make about his shaved-head and bearded appearance, dictates when old people should and shouldn’t be treated kindly, and teaches us how to have a fight while also putting some goodness into this world. He draws from his youth in Rochelle, IL, his formative years in Chicago, and his time spent at Jimmy Buffett’s Margaritaville Resort.

Rose Gold is named for Daniel’s grandmother Rosemary, who at 94 years old is a living example of what it means to just roll with whatever life throws at you. Says Dainiel “We live in a time of generational divides and hell, the people who are running our country are extremely old. But a section of this hour is about how old people still have to live in this current time and for me, Rosemary is a shining example of that.”

The process of creating this hour was a search for commonality. Rose Gold is an hour of comedy for everyone who simply wants to have a good time again.

ABOUT DANIEL VAN KIRK:

Daniel Van Kirk is a stand-up comedian whose comedy has charted at #1 on Apple Music. He’s been named a “Comic To Watch” by Comedy Central as well as one of JFL’s 42 in Toronto. You may know him from his characters on Bob’s Burgers (FOX), Physical (Apple TV+), Central Park (Apple TV+), and the lead in the feature film, Wine Club (Prime). Daniel can also be heard every week on the hit podcasts, Pen Pals with partner Rory Scovel, and co-hosting Dumb People Town along with The Sklar Brothers.
