The new show is a sequel to the hit show "The Rock Albers Show," which Albers performed before enthusiastic audiences and critics for more than three years, and won him back-to-back MAC Awards as Best Male Stand-up Comedian in 2002 and 2003.

Albers' subjects in the new show range from the selection of Supreme Court Justices to an astrological imbalance in Congress. He also rants about James Bond, Corvettes, The Golden Girls, big weddings and the Lincoln Tunnel. The shows includes parody songs about American icons Dr. Phil, Britney Spears and Cher--not to mention such American institutions as Wal-Mart and "The View" and the State of Oklahoma (his home state). He sums up the educational system of Oklahoma by the famous quote of Dr. George L. Cross, the former President of the University of Oklahoma, "We want to build a university the football team will be proud of."

At the 2003 MAC Awards at Symphony Space, Albers won the Best Male Stand-up Comedian Award for the second straight year.
