Jo Firestone Releasing Debut Comedy Album The Hits This Friday

Brooklyn-based comedian Jo Firestone dazzled in a Comedy Central stand-up special last year, one of our favorites of 2017. Now, she’s releasing an entire album of stand-up on the network’s label. Firestone announced Tuesday her debut album The Hits is out this Friday, Aug. 10, via Comedy Central Records.

In addition to her own material, Firestone has also written for The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon, TruTV’s The Chris Gethard Show and Adult Swim’s Joe Pera Talks With You. Her album features a collaboration of another kind—Arcade Fire’s Will Butler (Win Butler’s stage-climbing younger brother) provides transition music on the record, i.e. This American Life, according to a press release.

If you don’t already know Firestone, her card game, Punderdome, might be a good place to get acquainted (and her stand-up, of course). Firestone co-created the “Card Game for Pun Lovers” with her father, who must be a real ace.

You can listen to the first bit from The Hits via SoundCloud here. For Firestone’s tour dates, go here.
