Movie a day #375 - The Comedians of Comedy

[jenna2891]

i love these guys, especially zach galifianakis. they are all really funny, and not just on stage. anyone who likes tourgasm needs to watch this. it's like that, except the comedians are funny and not whiny. also, this came first. there was a tv show on comedy central of the same name and with the same cast of characters, also hilarious.

anyway, this might seem to be a bit of a tease. it was produced by netflix, so you would have to rent it through (you guessed it!) netflix. if you have netflix, do it, and right away. if you don't, i know showtime has been replaying it recently, so set your dvr's and tivo's to find it.

A crew of documentary filmmakers follows stand-up veteran Patton Oswalt (of "King of Queens" fame) and fellow "alternative comics" Brian Posehn and Maria Bamford on the Comedians of Comedy Tour. Along with clips of performances, the film offers a behind-the-scenes look at the comedians and the challenges of presenting material that's not necessarily "masses-friendly" and of playing rock clubs and indie venues rather than the usual comedy clubs.
