Andrew Schulz's #1 Debut Album 5:5:1 - A COMEDY EXPERIENCE Out Today

800 Pound Gorilla Records announces today's release of 5:5:1 - A Comedy Experience, the debut album from MTV's Guy Code star and The Brilliant Idiots podcast co-host Andrew Schulz.

"It's the greatest comedy city in the world, New York City," Schulz explains at 5:5:1's onset. "It's normal for us to perform at five different clubs and do five different sets, all in one night. And that's exactly what I'm about to show you right now: a true New York City comedy experience."

Capturing Schulz's performances at Comic Strip Live, Stand Up NY, the Comedy Cellar, NY Comedy Club, and the Village Underground, 5:5:1 addresses the great outdoors, relationships, female roommates, atheism, gay sex, and gender equality.

Named SiriusXM's June 8 Raw Dog Album of the Week, 5:5:1 debuts at #1 on the iTunes Comedy Chart.

"Our whole team loves this album," says 800 Pound Gorilla co-founder Damion Greiman. "Andrew jumps head first into controversial topics that most comedians shy away from, and gets the entire crowd behind him laughing all the way. This record is going to make a lot of noise and people are going to be talking about it for a while."

A native New Yorker and internationally touring stand-up, Andrew Schulz is known for his hilarious and unapologetic comedy. Schulz challenges conventional wisdom with an NYC tone that is often idiotic, at times brilliant, but always hysterical. He recently starred in the sitcom Benders (now available on Netflix), can be seen in Amazon's Sneaky Pete and the new season of HBO's Crashing, co-stars in the new Hulu dramedy There's Johnny, and appears in the feature films Feast of the Seven Fishes, The Female Brain and David Gordon Green's Halloween reboot. Schulz additionally starred in numerous shows for MTV including Guy Code, Girl Code and Uncommon Sense.

In the podcast realm, Schulz can be heard on the wildly popular The Brilliant Idiots - co-hosted by nationally syndicated radio and television personality Charlamagne tha God - the hilarious sports commentary podcast Flagrant 2, and the film and TV analysis podcast Westerbros. On social media, Schulz maintains a high level of engagement with his fan base of over 100,000 Instagram followers and 200,000 YouTube subscribers. His YouTube stand-up clips have over five million views.

This September Schulz headlines theaters across London, Antwerp, Amsterdam, Oslo, Copenhagen, and Stockholm. All tour dates and tickets are available at www.TheAndrewSchulz.com.
