Cameron Esposito Will Release Critically Acclaimed Special on Vinyl & Digital
By: Kaitlin Milligan Sep. 19, 2018
Stand-up comic, actor and writer Cameron Esposito will release her critically acclaimed special Rape Jokes as an album Friday, September 28 through aspecialthing Records. A personal exploration of the #MeToo movement, Rape Jokes premiered to rave reviews within the first 24 hours. The hour has been praised as "unapologetically hard-hitting, bracingly timely hour" (Vanity Fair), "blistering, masterful, tragic, hilarious" (New York Magazine) and the "first great stand-up set of the #MeToo era" (The Daily Beast).
Rape Jokes will be available digitally and on marbled vinyl for purchase in record stores and along Cameron's tour. 100% of the proceeds will go to RAINN, the nation's largest anti-sexual violence organization. Cameron has raised over $70,000 for RAINN thus far.
The comedian forewent the traditional route of releasing her hour with a studio backing to raise awareness and make an impact in the community. The show was self-financed with the help of friends who donated their time to maximize the proceeds for RAINN. Cameron turned around the final product within a week and released it for free on her own website in June.
