All Things Comedy Presents Ted Alexandro's SENIOR CLASS OF EARTH  Image

Filmed at the Comedy Cellar's iconic Village Underground in New York, Senior Class of Earth is Ted Alexandro's third hour-long comedy special (and/or comedy album), following As Much As You Want and I Did It. Senior Class of Earth effortlessly blends equal parts social commentary - surveying a world increasingly on the brink - with a healthy dose of personal reflections on subjects like being engaged to be married and the particular duties of a man in today's world - for example, making sure all electronic devices remain charged. It's often said that "the personal is political," and Ted's new special exemplifies that ideal while keeping us all laughing. The special will be available from All Things Comedy on October 4th, available to purchase worldwide at www.atcspecials.com and though Vimeo On Demand. The album version will be released by 800 Pound Gorilla Records on October 5th.

Named "one of the funniest comedians working today" by Time Out New York, Ted Alexandro's shrewd brand of observational and political comedy has brought him critical acclaim all over the world. Whether he's supporting Jim Gaffigan on tour or performing at New York's legendary Comedy Cellar, audiences can expect Ted to be "crafty, thoughtful, and extremely funny," according to the New York Times. His special 'Senior Class of Earth' is the first comedy special to be released by Bill Burr's All Things Comedy network. Ted has made multiple appearances on Conan, Jimmy Kimmel Live!, The View, The Late Show with David Letterman, and The Late Late Show with Craig Ferguson. In addition to his two half-hour specials on Comedy Central, Ted has also released two independently produced specials: I Did It and As Much As You Want. Ted has been featured on Inside Amy Schumer, The Gaffigan Show, Dr. Katz, and Oz, among others. Ted co-created the award-winning comedy webseries 'Teachers Lounge' with Hollis James. The series stars Ted as a music teacher and Hollis as a janitor in a NYC elementary school. Each episode stars a different comedian (Judy Gold, Jim Gaffigan, Dave Attell, Michael Che) as a faculty member. Throughout his career, Tedhas had the pleasure of performing at iconic venues like Carnegie Hall, Madison Square Garden and the Sydney Opera House. He has performed internationally in France, Jordan, Egypt, Kuwait, Hong Kong, South Korea, Singapore, Canada, Iceland, Norway, Sweden, Jakarta, The U.K., Holland, Israel, South AFRICA and Qatar. He is one of the co-founders of the New York Comedians Coalition, which successfully organized over three hundred comedians for the first pay raise in decades. In addition to performing and touring, Ted has been active in social justice movements like Occupy Wall Street, Black Lives Matter, The Climate March and Fight for $15.
