VinylHumor: Because real funny shit never grows old!
W hat’s VinylHumor and why am I reading this?
Hi there, I’m Michael Denning, the founder and head of VinylHumor Records. We are in pre-seed stage and seeking $75,000 to get things started. But let me tell you a bit about this exciting new venture embarking now.
The Basics
Vi nylHumor Records is more than just a record label—it’s a passion project born out of my love for both comedy and vinyl records. With several years experience in the music industry, a love of vinyl going back to childhood, and a deep appreciation for the art of comedy, I’ve set out to create something truly special: a curated collection of the greatest comedy albums of all time, lovingly reissued on vinyl for a new generation of fans to enjoy.
We are currently in the process of potentially reissuing the satirical works of Tom Lehrer, but we also wish to reissue albums by George Carlin, Bill Hicks, Richard Pryor, Sam Kinison, Stan Freberg, Chris Rock, Spike Jones and His City Slickers, Adam Sandler, Eddie Murphy, Steven Wright, Mitch Hedberg, Jeff Foxworthy, Bill Engvall, Andrew “Dice” Clay, National Lampoon, Steve Martin, Bob Newhart, Brother Dave Gardner, Larry the Cable Guy, Tim Wilson, Rodney Carrington, Robin Williams, Lily Tomlin, Jonathan Winters, Cheech and Chong, novelty songs and much more!
What sets VinylHumor apart?
What sets VinylHumor apart from other reissue labels is our unwavering commitment to quality and authenticity. We’re not slapping out reissues made from a digital copy of the master and an okay jpeg of the cover art—we’re working closely with the artists themselves (or their estates) to create fully authorized, comprehensive, immersive and definitive editions of the classics. That means going back to the original master tapes (or files if recorded digitally) meticulously remastering the audio, and adding bonus tracks and unreleased material to give fans a more immersive and definitive listening experience.
What can you expect from our releases?
When you pick up a VinylHumor reissue, you’re not just getting a record—you’re getting a piece of comedy history. Each album is carefully curated and lovingly packaged, with restored album cover art, new liner notes, and archival photos that offer insight into the artist’s life and career. Whether you’re a longtime fan or a newcomer to the world of comedy, our releases are sure to bring a smile to your face.
• All albums remastered from original master tapes/files by audiophile mastering engineer Kevin Gray.
• Fully restored album cover art to match the brilliant new sound.
• Expanded to include previously unreleased material, new liner notes, photos, and much more!
-
• Pressed to perfection by Hand Drawn Pressing in Dallas Texas; highly respected and reputable within the vinyl record industry.
• A portion of the profits will go to the National Comedy Center to further aid in preserving comedy history.How can you get your hands on these gems?
We’re making it easy for comedy fans to get their hands on our releases. Our albums will be pressed on both classic black vinyl and eye-catching colored variants, making them available at the comedian’s official websites, VinylHumor.com (coming soon), record stores, Amazon and other online retailers .
Why support VinylHumor?
I have the pressing plant, the mastering engineer, printing press and a few clients starting to line up, but we need $75,000 in funding to get things started. This amount will be used to complete setting up crucial business requirements, pay for at least two reissues and licensing/royalties for them, build our website and get the word out more with strategic marketing. By supporting VinylHumor, you’re not just investing in a record label—you’re investing in comedy history. A portion of our profits will go to the Comedy Center, a nonprofit organization dedicated to preserving and celebrating the legacy of comedy for future generations. Your support will help us continue our mission of keeping the laughter alive and ensuring that comedy’s brightest stars shine on for years to come. By contributing, you will become a member of VinylHumor’s VIP club, entitled to a copy of each new pressing we release, and can join in on VinylHumor meetings.
