(LOS ANGELES, CA) – Comedy Dynamics released Ben Rosenfeld’s latest album The Russian Optimist on iTunes, Amazon, Spotify, Google Play and all other digital audio retailers and streaming sites on December 9, 2016. With roots in Russia, the fast-rising comedian Ben Rosenfeld (a Rutgers University alum) talks about his individual experience growing up and living in America in his unique and sarcastic style of comedy.

Ben covers everything from his immigrant parents adjusting to their new way of life, to his satirical take on living as a self-proclaimed nerd. Ben thinks comedy fans will identify with his blend of "smarter comedy for smarter people." As he explains, "I love using laughter to raise everyone's consciousness. Also, I need the money." Recorded at the New York Comedy Club, Ben keeps his audience in an uproar. Comedy Dynamics is excited to bring The Russian Optimist to more comedy fans everywhere.

Comedian Ben Rosenfeld was born in Russia, and immigrated with his parents to a frozen tundra untouched by human kindness… Connecticut. He quit grad school to pursue comedy full-time, and has since appeared On FOX’s Laughs as well as in The New York Comedy Festival, The Laugh Your Asheville Off Comedy Festival, The World Series of Comedy, The Laughing Devil Festival, The Ventura Comedy Festival and more. He has performed across the U.S. and appears on stage nightly in New York City. Ben is also the author of the best selling illustrated coffee table book, Russian Optimism: Dark Nursery Rhymes To Cheer You Right Up.
