Album Notes

Playfully self-delusional, wildly entertaining, and
possessing a booming voice dripping with insincerity,
James P. Connolly has been described by industry
professionals as a cross between a young Steve Martin
and Troy McClure of “The Simpsons.” Unique in both
performance and material, Connolly makes an
unforgettable impact wherever he shows up. “It’s not
about what happens to you in life, it’s all how you spin it,
and present it back to yourself.” He explains. “I was at a
wedding a few weeks ago and my buddy said I got so
drunk I passed out on the floor. I said, ‘or I got hammered
at that wedding but I only fell once!’”

Former host of VH1’s “Movie Obsessions”, and a Grand
Comedy Champion on Ed McMahon’s “Next Big Star”,
James P. has been a Finalist in every major competition
and festival entered, including Comedy Central’s “Laugh
Riots”, the Boston Comedy Festival and the San
Francisco International Comedy Competition. Called “an
extraordinary talent”, and “as funny, quick and fresh as
any comedian around today” by entertainment bookers,
you’ll recognize him from many appearances on Comedy
Central, HBO, VH1, SiTV, UPN, numerous National
Commercials, voice over, multimedia, as well as regular
airplay on XM and Sirius Satellite Radio Comedy
Channels.

With the release of his new CD “The Master Plan” James
P. Connolly has finally brought his self-absorbed
philosophy to the world. Each track is a brilliant example
of what can happen when a man spends too much time
with himself, and begins to think he just might have all the
answers.

Sharing a special bond with men and women in uniform,
Connolly entertained the troops in both Iraq and
Afghanistan many times over the past few years. As a
former 1st Lieutenant in Desert Storm he knows the value
of laughter for our fighting forces and relates to them on
a level most other stand-up comics can’t.
