Aim for the Ditch with Zach Peterson

Zach Peterson wants to be the Butthole Surfers of comedy. Next step: release his new special, A List of Wet Celebrities, this Thursday, January 25!

Content warning: anxiety, OCD, dead parents, Burger King panic attack, sobriety, success, Neil Young, cigarette heaven, Rick Rubin's "The Creative Act," John Prine's "The Tree of Forgiveness," outsider art, avoiding sour grapes.

If you believe in This Is Your Afterlife and want fun bonus episodes, become a patron for $5 or $15/month at patreon.com/davemaher.

Watch A List of Wet Celebrities on Four by Three's YouTube channel. Stream the album version, and buy it from the iTunes store.

While you're in the listening mood, stream Zach's previous album, Midwestern Jokes of the Americas, and buy that too!
