The release party was covered by the New York Post’s legendary Page Six column by Cindy Adams:

The Spit Take likes the album.
“Comedian feels less like an after-the-fact collection of MP3s, and more like the actual comedy show it is—vibrant, alive and waiting to be experienced.”
”McEneaney never dives into a full-fledged unleashing of the soul, but he clearly hints at the anxieties and occasional struggles simmering below the surface. This makes sense, as any sort of unbridled confession wouldn’t remain in tone with the rest of the performance. McEneaney thrives on that careful balancing act between revealing too much and not opening up enough…”

Jester Journal wrote a really nice writeup as well:
“On his debut album, “Comedian,” released October 1, New York comic Liam McEneaney regales his audience with tales from his not-so-distant youth – particularly “The True Story of Fast Eddie,” a classic right off the bat.”
“Throughout “Comedian,” it’s McEneaney’s tone and delivery that really make his material shine. The twists he presents, often like the proverbial other shoe dropping, work because of the meek personality he presents on stage.”
