Keith recorded this CD after one year of doing stand-up? That is beyond incredible! And he'll never repeat a joke? This is getting very exciting.

Malley is mostly an observational comedian who more often than not can work a good segue. Going from The Passion of the Christ into Erotic Photo Hunt is no mean feat. This is also a guy whose standup comedy has an edge, something always enjoyable.

By itself, this CD holds up well as a stand alone product. It’s clever, edgy and, of course, funny. If you listen to Keith’s podcast, “Keith and the Girl”, this CD is also a very nice complement to that, as well. The CD helps explain aspects of Keith personality that end up on the show. On this CD (and in general, it seems), Keith is rather edgy and foul mouthed, yet he seems to have a core of decency which seems to wind it’s way through and challenging his rough exterior. It’s this contrast – or sometimes “clashing” – that make him naturally funny. After listening to this CD and his podcast show, I’d love to be a fly on the wall as Keith does his daily routine: stubbing his toe, hailing a cab in rush hour, talking to telephone tech-support or dealing with a difficult customer over job requirements. It seems as though the listener would be constantly waiting with anticipation to see what would come out of Keith’s head as he encountered each issue. Would he be nice though his teeth – letting the imagination run wild as to what he is really thinking -- or does he go completely ballistic? Maybe that will be the next CD – something like: “Keith Malley’s Every Day’s F__kin’ Challenges.” In the mean time, “Coming of Age” not only leaves me laughing but also leaves me thinking of what is going though that head of his – especially after hearing the bit about Keith’s birthday gift. Oh jeeze! After that, you’ve gotta wonder what else is pent up in that brain of his. Just be careful letting it out. Nice work Keith.
