by Sammy Anzer
Sammy’s full-length debut album follows the success of his chart-topping co-debut album Residual Income. In this outing, expect bold, racially charged humor, sharp introspection, and clever commentary on navigating America’s society through the lens of Sammy’s multi-racial experience.
At Public School 220 off the Horace Harding Expressway, joking with friends from all walks of life was just part of the culture—and Sammy embraced it wholeheartedly. Now, as a touring comic eager to meet the world, mic in hand, he delivers performances that are as thought-provoking as they are hilarious.
