Joe DeRosa | You Will Die | BSeen Media

By Daniel Berkowitz

At a minimum, Joe DeRosa’s You Will Die merits a listen purely because of the unique circumstances surrounding its production. The first disc of the double album is the 70-minute set that DeRosa intended to perform. The second disc, however, is an unedited hour of DeRosa’s failed attempt to record that same set. What went wrong? A drunken audience that continually shouted at DeRosa, talked to each other during jokes and stared into their glowing phones.

The second disc—each track of which is titled “At the Mercy of Drunks”—showcases everything that can go wrong in a comedy club. But as DeRosa says on the disc’s introduction, the incident was not a reflection on the venue; he instead chalks it up to the old adage “Shit happens.”

You Will Die is DeRosa’s third album in the last four years. Where 2010’s The Depression Auction and 2011’s Return of the Son of Depression Auction focused primarily on DeRosa and his personal struggles, You Will Die finds him looking outward more frequently, taking the same cynical, critical eye that he’s so deftly used to make light of his own flaws and using it to point out what, in his view, plagues society at large.

Patrice O'Neal | Unreleased | BSeen Media

By Nick A. Zaino III

Most of the new Patrice O’Neal album, Unreleased, is devoted to the late comedian’s give and take with his audience. It’s a compliment to last year’s posthumous release, Mr. P, taken from the same live shows, and in at least one significant way, better captures what was special about him as a performer. To some extent, every stand-up comedian has to sell the idea that what they’re saying is extemporaneous, not something they’ve honed to a sharp edge working stage after stage. For the audience, it has to be a fresh experience, no matter how many times the comedian has done it before.

O’Neal did that better than anyone. There is little on Unreleased that seems like it could have been planned beforehand. He gets into it with a pregnant woman in the audience, apparently upsetting her by interrupting her eating chicken strips. “I’m not afraid of big black bitch attitude,” he tells her. “It don’t scare me.” That kicks off eight minutes of O’Neal talking about how they’ll eventually wind up having sex and falling in love. “You curse the bitch out, and then you love her,” he says. He’s merciless in mocking her in a gruff Cookie Monster voice, but she gives it right back to him, telling him she’ll see his big ass after the show. With some chicken. O’Neal winds up laughing as much as the audience does during the exchange.
