You may know him as the obnoxious comedian from "Funny People." You might know him as the flamboyant helping hand on NBC's "Parks and Recreation." Or you may simply know him from his most "intimate" performance: His first standup CD, "Intimate Moments for a Sensual Evening."
No matter where you know him from, Aziz Ansari, a comedian who is quickly rising, is everywhere. A graduate of New York University, Ansari doesn't do "stupid funny," but rather an intellectual and mind-blowing observational comedy. He's like the 'Lil Wayne of comedy.
He guest-starred in Judd Apatow's movies, starred in "Reno 911" and played with Flight of the Conchords.
Ansari is one of those comedians who has come out of nowhere and has hit a homerun in everything he's attempted. To some, he's that scrawny Indian guy who always gets himself in trouble and this association doesn't bother him; he's already stepped beyond his stereotype, and his first standup CD is proof.
"Intimate Moments" explores Ansari's performances. He talks about working on television shows, hanging out with his celebrity friends like Kanye West and even trying to hit on his celebrity crush, rapper M.I.A.
Clocking in at just under an hour, the album is solid throughout, filled with laughs, groans and the occasional cry of disgust. His delivery is perfect, his stories are true and his dedication is genuine.
Not only will fans of Ansari enjoy the album, but all fans of comedy will appreciate "Intimate Moments" and the awkward moments that ensue.

As many people know about me, my goal is to write. Not just write anything, but write about the first love of my life: music. The thing that has encompassed and cultured ever moment of every day. These are my music reviews that will hopefully one day land me a job at the stone.
