Anthony Jeselnik

If you haven’t seen him, or at least heard of him, you should.  Though Anthony Jeselnik is no rookie in the comedy circuit, only recently has he started to make a name for himself.  How is he making such a name for himself?  By being one of the most hilarious assholes on the modern comedy scene.

His jokes have controversial subject matter, ranging from suicide to abortion, and can be seen/heard as cruel and downright appalling.  In a 2008 interview, Jeselnik, in his own defense, says his raunchy approach to comedy is purposeful and smart.

Check out a preview of his premiere album “Shakespeare,” which is set to be released on Tuesday, September 21, and is sure to be utterly offensive and brilliant.
