The Comedians of Comedy (2007)

It's a night of comic anarchy as 15 of today's edgiest comedians perform at Los Angeles' legendary Troubadour rock 'n' roll club! You're guaranteed to laugh, and occasionally gasp with shock, as new comic frontiers are crossed. The humor is always fresh and funny as Patton Oswalt, Brian Posehn, Zach Galifianakis, Maria Bamford, David Cross, Sarah Silverman, Blaine Capatch, Jon Benjamin, Jasper Redd, Andy Kindler, Morgan Murphy, Bob Odenkirk, Doug Benson, Dana Gould and Eugene Mirman share their unique styles of comedy.

Good material, not enough of it...

This DVD features great comedians and some very funny moments, but it really suffers from too many performers and not enough time for each. Each comic comes on stage, tells 2 or 3 jokes and then introduces the next comic. It's an interesting concept, and I applaud Patton and the guys for trying something new and different, but unfortunately it doesn't translate to DVD very well, IMO. The DVD plays like 2 hours of emceeing with no main act. I would rather have a 2 or 3 or 4 disc set that has more of each performance or (even better) just pick the best 4 or 5 comedians and give them each a 20 or 30 minute set. Also, I know that it says there are 15 comedians on the back, but I kinda think that having 4 popular comedians on the cover is a little misleading. It gives the impression that you actually get to see more than a couple of minutes of them performing! The new comics were great, I'm glad they're on the DVD, but I'd like to see more of them too! Interesting concept, funny stuff, I just hope they come up with a better presentation next time. July 29, 2008

Most where really funny, others not so much

Overall this is a great dvd but it's not what i thought it was. I was looking for the movie where the four comedians on the cover are being filmed while going on tour, like on the bus and everything in between shows. I noticed that footage from this movie are used in the one i was looking for though so i might have gotten decently close.

Not what i was looking for but it is a good buy. April 30, 2008

Fantastic Find

The talent and material presented in this epic-long performance is just outstanding. People who don't like this are morons and their opinions are wrong. Take it from me, I know truth - even when talking about opinions. Your welcome. February 12, 2008

Another Great Comedians of Comedy release

I loved the tv show and the previous dvd they released, and this was not a let down. Very funny, has a good portion of my fav comedians who are kinda "alternative" comics. Even if you like a few of these comics buy this, cause you will end up liking them all, a few of the lesser known comics (to me atleast) were as funny if not funnier than any of the main comedians.
