Synopsis

Product Description
UNBALANCED LOAD was recorded live April 20th, 2009. Why that date? Not because it's Hitler's birthday, but because 4/20 has been adopted as a stoner holiday, and Doug is one of the biggest pot comics out there- he co-wrote THE MARIJUANA-LOGUES and starred in the documentary SUPER HIGH ME, in which he smoked pot continuously for 30 days. But Doug is so much more than that! You probably also know him from his regular appearances on VH1's BEST WEEK EVER and his exciting (sarcasm!) 6th place finish on LAST COMIC STANDING. It's a funny CD full of pop culture references, pot humor, and good times.

Best review ever (well... not really...)

(4 out of 5 stars)

"i'm a huge fan or mr. benson... i truly am. when i heard a follow up to 'professional humoredian' was in the works, i was pretty excited. i was also pretty amazed. i was amazed that doug had come up with another album's worth of material so quickly. see... i had seen him at acme in minneapolis a few months prior, and much to my disappointment, his set, while solid (and quite funny) consisted almost exclusively of material off of 'professional humoredian'.



while 'unbalanced load' contains many-a-chuckle, i did find myself a tad bit disappointed with the amount of recycled 'humoredian' material. a few bits are left completely unchanged from benson's debut while others (pot ads, the marijuana-logues, last comic standing) are re-worked or expanded upon. while these bits were still pretty funny, it just left me feeling as if benson was unable to come up with 45 minutes worth of truly new, original material so he fell back on topics he knew would work.



with that being said, this album truly is funny and worth every penny. especially for fans of alt comedy or pop culture. benson's timing is spot on and his delivery is truly unique."
