Recorded over a span of 30 years (1984 2014), The Chronicles of Federman is a truly unique debut album from comedy legend Wayne Federman. The three discs in this set document Wayne s journey from the New York comedy clubs of the 80s, to Los Angeles alt rooms in the 90s, to theaters around the world in the 2000s. The album serves as both a fascinating case study in the evolution of one comedian, and a one-of-a-kind window on the state of American stand-up comedy over the last 30 years. Wayne Federman is an American comedian, actor, author, comedy writer, and musician known for his appearances on The X-Files, The Larry Sanders Show, Curb Your Enthusiasm, Legally Blonde, 50 First Dates, The 40-Year-Old Virgin, and Step Brothers. He was the head monologue writer for NBC s Late Night with Jimmy Fallon in its first season.
