Paul Rodriguez Presents Comedy Rehab

Comedy Rehab is a Latino stand-up comedy DVD featuring Paul Rodriguez, Gene Pompa, Shayla Rivera, and Many Mandanado. I really could have done without the multiple cuts to back stage in the first couple of minutes. Rodriguez hosts Comedy Rehab ... More

Sex, Drugs & Unicorns

This is a decent enough stand-up comedy CD by a comic who is better than her recorded material. That is the feeling I keep getting when listening to Sex, Drugs & Unicorn by Faith Choyce. There is no doubt Choyce ... More

Marx Brothers - A Night in Casablanca

A Night In Casablanca (1946) is one of the 4 Marx Brothers comedies in the Turner Classic Movies Marx Brothers Great Classic Films Collection. The other are the more famous A Day at the Races (1937), and 2 other B-movies ... More

If It Ain't Broke Break It

If Doctor Ravi Godse wasn’t dying, his friends would kill him. This is pretty much the conclusion you come to watching the quirky independent comedy If It Ain’t Broke, Break It. This comedy has minor flaws typical to small budget ... More

Yuk Yuk's Guide To Canadian Stand-up

This is a must have and just about perfect look at Canadian stand-up comedy. Who better than Yuk Yuk’s founder Mark Breslin to present the history of stand-up in Canada? This 5 CD set features 4 discs about Canadian comedy ... More

Black Dynamite

Black Dynamite is a brilliant comedy DVD spoof of and salute to the blaxsploitation action movies of the early seventies. I would be curious to see how an audience not familiar with movies like Willie Dynamite (my all-time favorite), Shaft, ... More

Intimate Moments for a Sensual Evening - also on CD

This Aziz Ansari stand-up comedy DVD or CD is decent enough if you are still developing your comedy palate. Intimate Moments for a sensual Evening, already the winner of the lamest title for 2010, has its moments. Aziz Ansari has ... More

The Windmills Are Weakening (1965)

Many comedy fans who dumped their vinyl collection are regretting it. A lot of stand-up comedy has not made the vinyl to CD transition. In the case of Bob Newhart only recently have all his albums been made available on ... More

Greg Behrendt is That Guy From That Thing

Greg Behrendt co-writes books about relationships like He’s Just Not That Into You and It’s Called a Breakup Because It’s Broken. He is also a good stand-up comic. His second stand-up comedy DVD, That Guy From That Thing, is pretty ... More

I Hope They Serve Beer In Hell

I Hope They Serve Beer in Hell is yet another sophomoric comedy with occasional T&A. This is a somewhat amusing movie if you are a teen boy or a current member of a fraternity and hate all women. I Hope ... More

The Invention of Lying Blu-ray

The premise for The Invention of Lying Blu-ray is a lie. This entertaining human comedy posits a world where people do not lie and voices every single thought for no particular reason such as “I think you’re fat.”. There is ... More

Cheaper by the Dozen 2 Blu-ray

Now available on Blu-ray, Cheaper by the Dozen 2 is a variation on the old poor summer camp versus rich summer camp comedy. I am not convinced this Steve Martin comedy needed a sequel but there is one. This is ... More

Jack and Coke

Read on to win a copy of this DVD. Artie Lange Jack and Coke is for an adult audience. The opening routine on Brokeback Mountain’s sex scene leaves no doubt as to that. If you like raunchy material and are ... More

The Simpsons Season 20 Blu-ray

It is not hard to believe The Simpsons have been around for 20 years. Turn on the TV and there is an episode playing on a channel somewhere. The Simpsons DVD set for the 20th season features 21 episodes, 9 ... More

Beautiful

Not being a Margaret Cho fan at all I reluctantly watched Beautiful, her 2009 stand-up comedy DVD. I was somewhat surprised. Cho has stopped screaming her material –I still have not gotten over the experience of listening to Revolution-- and ... More

Chuck Blu-ray The Complete Second Season

The spy adventure comedy Chuck has a tough time surviving seasons on network TV but it is a fun and original show. The Blu-ray for Chuck The Complete Second Season features 22 episodes on 4 discs including one in 3-D, ... More

Bigger Than You

Ever wonder what happened to Biff in Back to the Future? He is now comic Tom Wilson and he is Bigger Than You, his first stand-up comedy DVD. This is very funny and clean stand-up the whole family can enjoy. ... More
