Comedy Central To Release Sean Donnelly's New Comedy Album

originally published: 10/26/2015

(New York, NY) -- Comedy Central Records will release Sean Donnelly's new stand up comedy album, Manual Labor Face on November 13 on CC: Stand-Up Direct, iTunes, Amazon MP3, Google Play, Spotify, Apple Music and all streaming services. His episode of The Half Hour premieres on Comedy Central on Saturday, November 14 at Midnight ET/PT.

For the first time ever, Comedy Central Records is releasing stand-up comedy albums from six comedians appearing in The Half Hour this season. The albums will be released the same week as the selected comedian's televised show premiere. Donnelly's is the fifth installment of this series.

Donnelly brings his bold, New York attitude to The Half Hour with a hilarious set spanning lonely days with his dog, married life and the subjectivity of being fat.

Filmed at The Royale in Boston, The Half Hour showcases some of the best up-and-coming stand-up comedians. The fourteen-episode season offers sets from comedians Tone Bell, Michelle Buteau, Phil Donnelly, Hanley, Randy Liedtke, Joe List, Sam Morril, Barry Rothbart, Andrew Santino, Beth Stelling, Liza Treyger, Brooks Wheelan, Andy Woodhull and Hampton Yount.

Leading up to the on-air premiere, Comedy Central Stand-Up and cc.com/thehalfhour will feature preview clips from the series. Fans can follow Donnelly on Twitter at @seanytime and tweet using the hashtag #TheHalfHour to join the social chatter around the series.

Sean Donnelly: Manual Labor Face will be available day after air on the Comedy Central App and cc.com/thehalfhour to fans that sign in via their cable or satellite provider. The Comedy Central App is available for iPad and iPhone on the App Store, Android on Google Play, Roku, Xbox One and Chromecast. The episodes will also be available for download the day after air on iTunes, Amazon Instant Video, Xbox Video, Apple Music, Vudu and Google Play.

When he's not catching a nap with his bulldog, Rickles, Donnelly can be found headlining clubs all over the country. He has appeared on MTV's "World of Jenks," "Late Show with David Letterman," and NBC's "Last Comic Standing." Donnelly was a Montreal Just For Laughs "New Face" in 2013 and co-hosts the podcast "My Dumb Friends" with fellow comedian Dan St. Germain. He was featured on the truTV series "World's Dumbest" and on the first season of "Adam Devine's House Party" on Comedy Central, and can also be seen on Amazon's "Alpha House," Comedy Central's "Broad City" and "Inside Amy Schumer," truTV's "Friends of the People," and GSN's "Lie Detectors."

The Half Hour is executive produced by John Bravakis and Stu Schreiberg. JoAnn Grigioni and Miro Terrell are the Executives in Charge for Comedy Central.
