Apple Pie & Scars is a very good and, I am almost convinced, clean stand-up comedy CD.
There is not a bad moment here and though Matt Falk is not a profound comic, he certainly is very funny. I would not be surprised if it ended up on our top ten for 2013.
The CD opens with a rather facile observation on how when women talk about a problem they do not really want a guy to fix problems. Things pick up after that with a good slam on Lady Gaga and a workout bit with a line people are sure to steal: “What do I do between workouts? … I like to celebrate a couple of birthdays.” There are also bits about toasts and toasters, food, and water parks.
Notable in my mind is Metaphors, a solid piece about accents, and a story about pretending to be Scottish and meeting a real Scot. The Shamwow guy bit is on the other hand a bit easy.
This Matt Falk comedy CD ends strong with a prank gone wrong.
The one thing I think is missing on this Matt Falk CD is more material based on his Mennonite background. Everybody thinks he is an expert, and I am no exception, but this is a topic very few comics can touch and that would certainly interest an audience.

Okay but not more than that. Includes Big Jay Oakerson, D.C. Benny, Vic Henley, Dean Edwards, Jess Wood, and Ben Bailey - 73Even if the sound quality still gets on my nerves, Lisa Best Brain Bank is a CD or MP3 album I strongly recommend to anybody looking for a strong new voice in comedy.
