800 Pound Gorilla Records announces the August 3 release of Unconditional, the first album in nearly 10 years from Rescue Me, The Job, Nurse Jackie, and Top Gear veteran Adam Ferrara.

Now available for presale, Unconditional is enjoying wide audience appeal on SiriusXM's Laugh USA, Raw Dog, and Jeff and Larry's Comedy Round Up channels. Ferrara's Comedian of the Month placement on Laugh USA generated more social-media engagement for Unconditional than any other album since the Comedian of the Month program's inception.

"Unconditional is an album about appreciating the most meaningful things in life," says 800 Pound Gorilla co-founder Damion Greiman. "Simultaneously hilarious and unifying, Ferrara knows family, communication, and finding common ground are the most important priorities in today's uncertain political times."

Adam Ferrara, the actor/comedian who Entertainment Weekly dubbed "hilarious," is an internationally touring headliner, two-time nominee for best male stand-up by the American Comedy Awards, and has three Comedy Central Specials. Ferrara presently hosts the critically acclaimed BBC sensation Top Gear US, airing on HISTORY.

Ferrara proudly played Chief Needles Nelson on the Emmy nominated FX drama Rescue Me with Denis Leary, and Frank Verelli on Showtime's hit series Nurse Jackie opposite Emmy Award winner Edie Falco. He also co-starred alongside Kevin James in the hit movie Paul Blart: Mall Cop and Definitely, Maybe with Ryan Reynolds. Ferrara's earlier TV credits include NBC's Law & Order, ABC's Ugly Betty, CBS's The King of Queens, as well as a series regular on the critically acclaimed ABC show, The Job.

Founded in 2016, 800 Pound Gorilla Records distributes comedy albums to more than 100 digital retail partners in the United States, and an additional 300 partners in nearly 200 countries internationally. In addition to working with Spotted Dog Entertainment and the estate of Richard Pryor, 800 Pound Gorilla artists include George Lopez, Jim Jefferies, Kathleen Madigan, Demetri Martin, John Heffron, Ms. Pat, Maz Jobrani, Chad Daniels, and more. 800 Pound Gorilla Records comedians are regularly featured on Pandora's New Comedy Alerts as well as SiriusXM programming including Laugh USA's Comedian of the Month, Raw Dog's Album of the Week, and Kevin Hart's LOL Backstage.
