Sammy Anzer & Edward Bell's debut split "Residual Income" is available now for pre-order & everywhere this Friday 3/1/2024. Sammy Anzer is a smooth-talking, misbehaved New Yorker, and Edward Bell is a dry and sharp-witted Iowan. The two would never have met if not for their love of stand-up comedy. Standing outside of an Irish bar on the famous South Broadway strip in Denver, Colorado, Edward joked about sustaining themselves on stand-up comedy by selling albums, and this is the outcome. Inspired by DIY punk rock ethos, Sammy Anzer and Edward Bell are releasing their debut album as a collab with two hopes: one, there's something for everyone's style of humor on the album, and two, they're gonna make a ton of spare change. Laughter brought these two together, and it’ll do the same for you. You can find Sammy at @badboyanzer & Ed at @edwardbellcomedy on Instagram & TikTok.
