UP-AND-COMING DEBUT COMEDY ALBUM FROM CY AMUNDSON OUT NOW ON STAND UP! RECORDS

LOVESICK IN TOLEDO Features Offbeat Takes on Family, the Trouble with Male Roommates, Looney Tunes and the People Who Love Them and More

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

LOS ANGELES, CA (THURSDAY JUNE 5, 2014) – Cy Amundson’s (http://cycomedy.com) debut comedy album, released by Stand Up! Records entitled Lovesick in Toledo, is now available via iTunes, Amazon, the Stand Up! Records store (http://standupcrap.com) and other fine webtailers near you!

Lovesick in Toledo is 11 tracks of wry observations about the wacky and the everyday, normal world in which we all live – that goes horribly awry. Be it the absurdity of Bud Light Beer commercials ‘drinkability’, how much everybody loves his brother Greg, the “oh no, not there” penis burn or how to play a prank on a family member’s college application letter, Admundson’s take is just a tiny bit skewed. It’s gonna take a Flintstones vitamins anecdote and a diversion into the Loony Toons to get there, but we assure you, Cy Amundson’s all about the journey (if only because, in a fourth grade girls’ basketball game, there is no destination). Go ahead….and listen. It will all make perfect sense when you do.

Cy Amundson has quickly established himself as one of the nation’s fastest rising stand-up comedians. He was a standout performer as a New Face at last summer’s Montreal Just For Laughs Festival and recently made his television debut on Conan.

Named CMT’s Next Big Comic for 2011, Cy has been on the Bob and Tom Show and has performed in the Aspen Comedy Festival, Seattle International Comedy Competition, and the Great American Comedy Festival in Johnny Carson’s hometown of Norfolk, NE. This is his first comedy record.

Stand Up! Records is based in Minneapolis, Minnesota and run by Grammy-winning comedy producer Dan Schlissel. With a growing catalog and more than 130 releases, they have a 14 year history as a champion of the underdog.  More than just a record label it is a comedy brand juggernaut; combining comedy, great art, discovering new talent, founding comedy festivals and also producing cool stuff.
