"3 BALLOONS" COVER REVEALED
Over the weekend we finalized the "3 Balloons" cover. You can click on it for a bigger version, and get the track listing on the discography page. Here is Stephen's take on the album:

"My last two albums were recorded live in concert, just guitar and voice, and I wanted to do something different this time. Whenever I write or perform a new song, in my head I hear pianos and drums and tubas and string sections and jug bands and children's choirs. I want you to hear those things too. Except we couldn't find a children's choir whose parents would let them sing about drug mules and transsexual prostitutes. Maybe next time.”

The tour starts February 27th in Boston, MA. Check our site or WhatAreRecords.com for information about where and when you can buy "Three Balloons."

LOOKS LIKE A BUSY 2009...
Comedy Central Creates Live-Entertainment Division with Stephen's help..

NEW YORK, October 17: Comedy Central’s new live-entertainment division will focus on stand-up tours, comedy festivals, performance DVDs and CDs, under the leadership of Mitch Fried, formerly the senior VP of promotion marketing.
 
Fried will also spearhead the network's efforts to maximize live-performance exposure and revenue across already established business lines. One of the first projects to be developed under this new division is a deal with comedian Stephen Lynch, who starred in Broadway's The Wedding Singer and has been featured in two Comedy Central Presents half-hour specials. The agreement encompasses a U.S. stand-up tour and an international stand-up tour that will visit London, Ireland, Sweden, Holland and other cities. The deal also includes a one-hour stand-up special with Lynch that will premiere on Comedy Central before being released, unedited, on DVD via Comedy Central Home Entertainment.
 
"Creating the live-entertainment division is the next step in the evolution of the Comedy Central brand that has been steadily growing and expanding out of our viewers' living rooms and into their everyday lives," said Michele Ganeless, Comedy Central’s president.
 
"By providing talent, whether they're just starting out or are already household names, with the strength and power of the Comedy Central brand we will be able to maximize their exposure and revenue by reaching their fans across multiple platforms, be it through a tour, a special, a CD, a DVD or all of the above, making Comedy Central an even more appealing home for the top comedians in the industry," said Fried. "We're very excited to be able to announce our new deal with Stephen Lynch, which will see us launch our first international stand-up tour, as well as produce our first one-hour special with this incredibly talented comedian."
