Nobody? Just Me?

Gordon Baker-Bone works with a casual skepticism that makes awkward topics go down easy, whether he is questioning which songs actually make practical sense at a protest or sorting through the social mechanics of hanging out with his gay cousin. He delivers material with an offhand, conversational cadence, treating absurd double standards like mundane daily annoyances rather than grand controversies.

Released in August 2018 through Comedy Dynamics, the 58-minute debut album was recorded in his home state of New Jersey. At the time, Baker-Bone was a regular presence on the New York circuit, co-hosting The Bad Advice Show podcast and coming off a nod from Brooklyn Magazine on their roster of funniest local comics.

The set moves at a brisk pace across 31 tracks. Along the way, he touches on interracial dating, odd municipal laws, and why people who obsessively hate Kanye West have quietly become more exhausting than the man himself.
