Although he may be best known as one of the co-hosts of the popular podcast “Las Culturistas,” comedian Matt Rogers has also begun to make a name for himself as the “prince of Christmas.” Last year, Rogers released “Have You Heard of Christmas?,” a comedy special on Showtime that was equal parts satire and loving homage to the traditional holiday variety shows of the past. This year, Rogers released a dance-pop album of the same name in November. The 12-track record features songs from his Showtime special as well as remixes and new collaborations. His single “Also It’s Christmas” premiered with a cheeky and fresh music video. Catch him perform tracks from the new record during his local stop for the “Have You Heard of Christmas?” album tour.
