Album Description
Nothing quite captures the full experience of Rick's performance artistry like seeing him live. But if you can't do that, the album...is the next best thing. Rick Shapiro is not merely a stand up comedian. He doesn't really have a routine, per se. Really he just gets up on stage and explodes into a sort of stream of consciousness rant. During his performances, Rick unleashes the many characters living in his brain in a rapid fire purging that almost comes across as an assault. The former junky/prostitute turned actor-comedian has been called the Lenny Bruce of the East Village and it's a name that suits him. Fortunately for Rick, though, he is not living in the repressed age that censored and eventually ruined Lenny Bruce. Rick's act is so obscene and raunchy that it makes his predecessors look like girl scouts. But his humor doesn't just rely on obscenity. It's quick witted social criticism... with the occasional reference to fisting. 5.0 out of 5 stars...Rick Shapiro RULES!!!!,

Review
This dark, abrasive, crude comedy is not for everyone but there is stiletto-sharp wit lurking here. --Bruce Dessau, Evening Standard (London) March 10, 2008

Review
As you'd imagine, Shapiro's got anecdotes coming out of his ears, most of them filthy, a lot of them about drugs and women and quite a few of them have no discernible punchline. But it's poetic take on grisly world and his wild, shambolic delivery that makes being trapped in a room wih him so electrifying. --Sharon Louger, Metrolife (London) March 11, 2008

Customer Reviews

Never heard the CD...
... But I went to the Neighborhood Playhouse with Rick. He was (and am quite sure, still is) a huge talent. I just happend to be thinking about him the other day and decided to google the name. I would highly urge anyone and everyone to by this CD. He has the purest soul of just about anyone I have ever met. I miss you Rick.

This album will blow your mind
Rick Shapiro's comedy, like the Krell's apparatus from "Forbidden Planet", will expand your brain power to more than ten times its original power. He is so scary good, I can barely find the words. If you like Patton Oswalt, David Cross, or Bill Hicks, Shapiro will rock your world.

Rick Shapiro RULES!!!!
Rick Shapiro's album "Unconditional Love" isn't new but I just listened to it again and was reminded of how damn funny it is. Nothing quite captures the full experience of Rick's performance artistry like seeing him live. But if you can't do that, the album (or maybe his dvd if you can find it) is the next best thing. Rick Shapiro is not merely a stand up comedian. He doesn't really have a routine, per se. Really he just gets up on stage and explodes into a sort of stream of consciousness rant. During his performances, Rick unleashes the many characters living in his brain in a rapid fire purging that almost comes across as an assault.
