The Comedians of Comedy: Live at the Troubadour Review (DVD)

About?: The Comedians of Comedy is a group of comedians who are doing stand up live at the Troubadour, the comedians consist of Patton Oswalt, Brian Posehn, Zach Galifianakis, Maraia Bamford, David Cross, Sarah Silverman, Blaine Capatch, Jon Benjamin, Jasper Redd, Andy Kindler, Morgan Murphy, Doug Benson, Dana Gold and Eugene Mirman.

My Thoughts: All the comedians bring different types of comedy and they are all funny. I enjoyed the stand up very much. I did wish they each all had a little more time to tell jokes, each comic got around 10 plus minutes to do their stand up, each had some good stuff. For me the ones that stood out were Brian Posehn, Blaine Capatch, Jasper Redd was good and Zach Galifianakis and I enjoyed. Sarah Silverman and Steve Agee song, that was good.

DVD Content: The DVD contains the feature stand up that runs for 135 minutes and is presented in 1.78.1 widescreen with 2.0 Dolby Stereo. The extras on the DVD include Behind-the-Scenes Footage, Never-Before-Seen Outtakes and Deleted Scenes, The Legendary Troubadour.

DVD Thoughts: The Behind the Scene is very short, around 2-3 minutes, and we get to see the transformation of Zach in to Seth Galifianakis. Most of the extras are about Patton Oswalt, one was about a Heckler and Patton Oswalt making fun of him. another, him telling a story and the last a joke about diet. Lastly short info about the history of the Troubadour. All the extras were way to short and I would have like to seen more of the backstage stuff.

Overall: The DVD of The Comedians of Comedy is solid on only the feature side the extra content were very short but still funny. I thought that the sets for each comedy was too short also but what they have were funny and entertaining. That is why I gave The Comedians of Comedy: Live at the Troubadour a:
3.5 out of 5
