No One Laughed - "Lizard in Oblivion" (Patreon)

Ahhhh, the sweet sound of a project finally breaking free from development hell...

As a lot of you know, Albert began his existence as a failed stand-up comedian. There's a couple of "live" shows he "recorded" - Broken Glass Snack and Bowling for Blood - and every now and again I would write more jokes for him...but they didn't fit anywhere. They were so weird, what was his motivation? Revenge on the audience? An attempt to kill stand-up comedy completely?

So for a lonnnnng time I kept writing and recording introductions to various new stand-up comedy series that all start with him explaining who he is and all the abuse he suffered from audiences, etc etc, the usual Albert...but I hated that it created another project with an asymmetrical first episode that people had to hear to fully get the rest of the episodes. Then the magic trick happened...stick the entire explanation of the show on the thumbnail in three sentences (a'la movie poster strategy), now he can get right to telling the joke, the eps can be enjoyed separately in any order, almost like No One Laughed is a band and the jokes are songs.

Anyhoo - for folks in the mood for old-school Albert weirdness, he's back to comedy failure anti-glory, telling the jokes that got him banned from stand-up comedy (...and it's probably a good thing that no one laughed).
