Plan B

Plan B is a one-woman performance art show more than a stand-up comedy DVD. Maria Bamford does comedy here but the whole is very different from your usual story set-up for punchline routine. Plan B features Bamford’s many voices and characters and her usual disjointed stream of consciousness storytelling. The ...

Where The Cab Takes You

If just for the opening routine about being stoned and having the munchies, this Kristin Key CD is worth it. There is much more to Where the Cab Takes You than The Munchies and Soy Sauce Can’t Drive but this is one ...

This It It! (1967)

This It It! would turn out to be it for Bob Newhart and comedy albums. The Collector’s Choice reissue features the original cover and back cover artwork. This stand-up comedy CD also features an interesting insert tracking the Bob Newhart story and providing information as to the tracks themselves. This ...

Welcome To My World

Rocky Laporte is a very funny comedian. In a world overpopulated by hyperactive comics, Laporte’s laid-back and puzzled tone is a very welcome change. Welcome To My World is the major label re-release of Rocky Laporte’s independent stand-up comedy CD Who Knew? It is nice to see Laporte get wider ...

Tailgate Party - DVD Version

I have no idea why there was such a four-month between the releases of the Larry the Cable Guy CD and DVD versions of Tailgate Party. If you already have the CD, the stand-up comedy DVD version of this 2009 Nebraska show in front of 50,000 people is the same ...

Maneater

Maneater is an absolutely wretched 2-part Lifetime miniseries romcom. This romantic comedy DVD stars Sarah Chalke (Becky 2 in Roseanne) as a thirty-something woman who decides to get married to a combination sugardaddy and boytoy before her looks totally go. Love doesn’t enter the equation here and neither does any ...

Bob Newhart Faces Bob Newhart (1964)

Bob Newhart Faces Bob Newhart is the comic’s fifth of seven comedy albums released in the sixties. Collector’s Choice has made the last 4, The Button-Down Mind on TV (1962), Faces (1964), The Windmils Are Weakening (65), and This Is It! (67) available on CD. The packaging is a replica ...

That's How We Do It! CD-DVD set

That’s How We Do It is an enjoyable and funny stand-up comedy DVD and CD set by comedian Anjelah Johnson. Johnson doesn’t really bring anything new to the genre but she is very likeable and her material is funny. Anjelah Johnson is confident enough in her material so she does ...

Blu-ray Comedy Double Feature - Miss Congeniality and Miss Congeniality 2

Miss Congeniality is a very enjoyable comedy starring Sandra Bullock in one of her first turns as a fish out of water character. Also on this Blu-ray Comedy Double Feature, Miss Congeniality 2 is a weak sequel. Fans who have been waiting for Miss Congeniality on Blu-ray will be bummed ...

Blu-ray Comedy Double Feature Funny Farm - Spies Like Us

This Blu-ray Comedy Double Feature set features two Chevy Chase movies: Funny Farm and Spies Like Us with Dan Aykroyd. Both of these comedies are the kind you would not mind watching if they were on TV one Saturday afternoon. Spies Like Us is the better of the two. Unless ...
