Emmy-nominated comedian Damon Wayans, who's perhaps best known for his work on the groundbreaking comedy sketch show "In Living Color," has a knack for creating funny characters. But he plays his most hilarious character yet in this gut-busting HBO special filmed live in front of an appreciative audience: himself. Riffing on marriage, kids, work and a variety of other topics, Wayans proves he's still relevant in the cutthroat world of stand-up.
Displaying his comic chops and impeccable timing, self-deprecating jokester Richard Jeni will have you in stitches with his riotous brand of humor as he takes aim at political extremists on both sides of the aisle, Martha Stewart and Michael Jackson. From mocking stoners watching a congressional session to poking fun at religious fundamentalists, Jeni leaves no irreverent stone unturned in this rollicking HBO special.
Bob Newhart stars in the hilarious hour-long stand-up special. Taped at Pasadena's landmark Raymond Theatre, the show is filled with some of the comedian's classic routines from the '60s.
In LONG STORY SHORT, Colin Quinn focuses his articulate brand of comedy on the demise of empires, including our own. More than standup comedy, LONG STORY SHORT is a hilarious blend of incisive observation, sharp commentary, and Colin's channeling of the personalities of the past. From Socrates to Snooki, Quinn is at his satirical best, taking on the attitudes, appetites and bad habits that toppled the world's most powerful nations. Long Story Short proves that throughout human history, the joke has always been on us.
