Created by three incredibly talented comedy writers, and starring an almost unbelievable list of talented artists, the album was created for a great cause.

What really matters is who is going to kill it, crush it, wrap it up and take it home in a nylon sack in 2015. We wanted to know who is going to be the big ticket next year and so we went to the people who know best- their closest friends and competitors, other stand up comics.
