Norman Rockwell is Bleeding (Comedy Central, 2008) by Christopher Titus


This is a very personal album, and Titus' storytelling abilities are absolutely fantastic.  It's a stand-up album delivered by way of anecdotes more so than just straight-forward jokes.  I very much admire Titus' honesty in his delivery.  In my opinion, he is one of the most open comics ever.  Clearly, he has turned his struggles into something with great artistic value and that is something to be greatly admired.  Norman Rockwell is Bleeding is a masterpiece and it  comes across as a comedic catharsis for its creator.

Neverlution (Comedy Central, 2011) by Christopher Titus


This album is more political than Titus' earlier material, but it is just as funny.  The great thing about it too is that he does not take a side, he simply dissects American culture as a whole and points out numerous inconsistencies.  The album clocks in at about an hour and forty-five minutes, but it never feels long-winded.  Titus again demonstrates how he is a very gifted storyteller, and that  makes the time just fly by.  I am a big fan of his work and will continue to support him as long as he continues to perform.
