The uncensored and extended CD/DVD combo set of Kyle Kinane: Whiskey Icarus, released at the end of January by Comedy Central, includes 20 minutes of material not used in the televised version and a DVD bonus of Kinane's half-hour Comedy Central Presents special. It is a solid set with some excellent material, including a funny riff on under-the-table sex at Medieval Times and a diatribe on the importance of voting that asks the momentous question: What is a comptroller? Both shows have material that gives you something worth thinking about, and they do it without preaching and just a bit of masturbating.
Kinane likes to have his little jokes. He likes to throw in allusions to classic songs and song lyrics. So when you look at the titles of the different tracks on the combo jacket and wonder what they've got to do with what you're hearing, you may, as a more knowing friend suggested to me, want to check out the track listing on Kiss's 1976 Destroyer album.
