Singer/songwriter and comedian Stephen Lynch has an uncanny wit and a mysterious comical side to him, and his performance resumé includes shared gigs with Jeff Foxworthy, Bobcat Goldthwait, Anthony Clark, and Big Bad Voodoo Daddy. In summer 2000, he appeared in his own debut television special on Comedy Central. The guitarist also released his debut album A Little Bit Special, a 22-track look into Lynch's silly and ironic sense of humor, in September 2000. Two years later, Lynch issued a collection of five different shows in and around New York City titled Superhero. Tours at countless colleges and universities across the United States followed into 2004, the same year Lynch released his first DVD, Live at the El Rey. The single "Vanilla Ice Cream" announced the arrival of his 2005 album The Craig Machine. ~ MacKenzie Wilson, All Music Guide
