Patton Oswalt's Award Winning 'Talking For Clapping' To Be Released as Digital Album 8/25

Patton Oswalt's Emmy and Grammy Award winning comedy special "Talking for Clapping" is set for digital album release on Friday, August 25 via aspecialthing Records. Brilliantly conceived and masterful in its execution, Patton returned to his adopted home of San Francisco to tape his triumphant sixth comedy special. From politics to parenting to pills, Oswalt brings surgical precision to the proceedings, balancing personal stories with the acidic pop analysis that has become his signature and it proved to be Patton Oswalt at his finest when it took home an Emmy as well as a Grammy Award.

aspecialthing Records released the vinyl-only pressing of "Talking for Clapping" on limited-edition blue splatter VINYL last fall and a short time later, the album won the Grammy Award for Best Comedy Album. The label is releasing the album digitally on August 25. Pre-orders available now.
