Friday night, one of the best comedy shows in Athens, The Beards of Comedy, will be celebrating the release of their debut album, Comedy for People at The Melting Point.

The Beards of Comedy, featuring Tj Young, Andy Sandford, Dave Stone, and Joe Zimmerman, are four of Atlanta’s best comedians. Their style is deeply rooted in stand-up with masterful use of improv and sketch thrown in. With a brand of comedy not typical of the south, be prepared to hear everything from pop culture to philosophy to down-right silliness. The Beards, and yes they all have beards, are a welcome break from the idiotic Dane Cooks of the world. A sense of humor that is sarcastic, observant, and intelligent, The Beards aren’t going to dumb anything down for anyone, except maybe the redneck in the back.

Copies of Comedy for People will be available for only $10 at the release show. For those not able to make the show, you can buy Comedy for People on iTunes or from RooftopComedy.com.

Added Bonus: Tj Young’s band, Hey, Revolution, will be making a special appearance after the comedy.
