Today kicks off Memorial Day Weekend in the States. With Monday dedicated to recognizing our troops, the weekend is often packed with picnics, barbecues and general summer-themed festivities to welcome the sun and adventures of the approaching season. Well, your summer fun has just arrived early as we welcome a comedian, a heart-melting film and a jazz-adelic album courtesy of yours truly.
Today marks the release of Clayton English‘s full length audio of All The Same via Comedy Dynamics. Recognizable from his win on Last Comic Standing, English has the crowd roaring with how easy it is to get weed and how it should be legalized. Clayton touches on the safety and medical benefits saying “-it helps people with Alzheimers, did you know that? Yea, they smoke weed and they forget they can’t remember.” Check out a clip from his winning set and listen to his full album here:
