Michael Ian Black-I Am A Wonderful Man

Michael Ian Black is a wonderful man and you really should have his stand up album as well as anything he has ever been involved with. You probably recognize him from those Vh1 shows, which is a good start. But get this album, find a way to see The State and Stella, two classic shows which he was a part of and then read his pieces on McSweeneys. His comedy troupe, Stella (same name as the show, I know), also features Michael Showalter and David Wain, a Clevelander who directed Wet Hot American Summer and this year's Role Models. They are performing in Cleveland at the House of Blues this Sunday and I highly recommend any Clevelander to get out for a few hours of good laughs.

Note: This is not the kind of album you want to listen to with your grandmother, unless she is like mine and is not really offended by crude humor. And no this isn't toilet humor, it's actually rather 'intelligent'
