Andy Daly plays four different characters in his excellent new comedy album, including L. Ron Hubbard. Read our review.
Stop me if you’ve heard this one before: a cowboy poet, a lascivious theater director, a wannabe Mayor of Hollywood and L. Ron Hubbard walk into a bar. On his latest comedy album, comedian Andy Daly takes the stage as each of these characters, sharing their off-kilter world views and conducting spirited audience Q and As. The former is not new in Daly’s repertoire—his 2008 albumThe four-part set is a crash course in effective worldbuilding.
Dalton is the most fully realized character in the set, and Daly is wise to open with his folksy anecdotes. The comic could have easily spent the entire record giving out about city slickers and still have won fans over. Dalton’s cowboy poetry and Hank Hill-adjacent accent make him feel like a beloved character from an Adult Swim show. However, we’re glad Daly decided to introduce us to the creepy Don DiMello, ambitious Chip Gardner and his time-traveling version of L. Ron Hubbard, too.
The podcaster and actor isn’t content simply working with scripted material, though. The integration of a question and answer section for each character highlights Daly’s improvisational skills and just how much he’s fleshed out these ludicrous personas. His responses to audience queries tend to be brief and sometimes leave you wanting more, but their conciseness also keeps these sections from becoming bloated .into “comedy album of the year” territory.
