Comedy Album That Was Almost Banned By Russian ITunes To Be Released, Today  Image

Comedy Dynamics announced today it will release Ben Rosenfeld's third comedy album The United States of Russia on all digital audio retailers on January 19, 2018.

Almost banned on Russian iTunes, Ben Rosenfeld's album The United States of Russia is a hysterical look at life from a Russian born, American raised comedian. In his sarcastic and original style, Ben discusses his immigrant parents and outsider childhood, millennials, terrorism, the current political climate, and adjusting to life as a newlywed.

Comedian Ben Rosenfeld was born in Russia and immigrated with his parents to a frozen tundra untouched by human kindness... Connecticut. He quit grad school at Caltech to pursue comedy full-time, and has since appeared on FOX's Laughs, SiriusXM Radio, NPR, NatGeo's Brain Games andTravel Channel's Mysteries at the Museum. He has also performed in The New York Comedy Festival, The Laugh Your Asheville Off Comedy Festival, The World Series of Comedy, The Laughing Devil Festival, The Ventura Comedy Festival and more. Ben is also the author of the best-selling illustrated coffee table book Russian Optimism: Dark Nursery Rhymes To Cheer You Right Up. Comedy Dynamics also released his second album The Russian Optimist on December 9, 2016.

Comedy Dynamics, a Nacelle company, is one of the largest independent comedy production and distribution companies, producing Kevin Hart's Guide to Black History, Animal Planet's Animal Nation with Anthony Anderson, the new scripted comedy on Hulu, There's... Johnny!, History's Join Or Die with Craig Ferguson, MTV2's Wild 'N On Tour, and Hulu's Coming To The Stage. The company has worked with a wide range of established and emerging comedic talent including Kevin Hart, Aziz Ansari, Jim Gaffigan, Katt Williams and many more. In total, nine of Comedy Dynamics' albums have been Grammy-nominated, with one win.
