    Amiably slapdash docu about The Comedians of Comedy tour mixes on-stage performances, backstage bull sessions and downtime tomfoolery to generally satisfying and frequently hilarious effect.

    I just saw this last night, and in my opinion this is one of the funniest Documentary's I have ever seen. I laughed so much, so many times that I actually hurt myself. The Extras on the DVD are also hilarious. If you are a fan of "Alternative Comedy" then just go watch it already!… Full Review »
