Lisa Lampanelli's shocking and hilarious appearances on television from "The Tonight Show" to Comedy Central roasts have made her the hottest comic in the country.

Comedian Cedric the Entertainer uses his considerable appeal to introduce some up-and-coming young stand-up comedians. Cedric himself takes on topics such as Bill Clinton, the death penalty, reality television, fast-food chicken, church etiquette, and much more. The other comedians are a mixed lot: Roland Powell amusingly mocks insecure boyfriends and sings a singles bar pick-up song and Juan Villareal gets some laughs out of food stamps and The Blair Witch Project, while Tony Luewellyn flounders through weak material about Ex-Lax and the war on terror. Then along comes J.J., who gives a surreal spin to roadkill and giving birth to septuplets.

Reina el orgullo latino en este especial de comedia de uno de los cómicos más respetados de América. En Tall, Dark & chicano, nada está a salvo de ingenio George Lopez, incluida la pureza de lo sagrado (y el gas que inducen tendencias) de la comida mexicana, la alegría de la confirmación Sonia Sotomayor, como un juez del Tribunal Supremo, y la estupidez de nombres para bebés de raza blanca.

BE MORE CYNICAL was originally aired on HBO, and offers viewers a chance to see Maher's full routine, which sees him tackling a wide array of topics, and leaving the audience recoiling in laughter.

Maher addresses contemporary political, social and cultural topics -- Iraq, President Bush and the so called Axis of Evil. The opinionated Maher said about Victory Begins at Home: "We've heard everything about the War on Terrorism except what we can actually do to help win it. The government used to do that for us through propaganda (the positive kind) posters, so taking my cue from the great old posters of World War I and World War II ('Loose Lips Sink Ships,' 'Buy War Bonds,' 'Plant a Victory Garden,' etc.) I commissioned artists to paint the posters our government today should be putting out to help us win this war."

Dustin Hoffman, dos veces ganador del Oscar®, da vida al polémico cómico de los años 60 Lenny Bruce en esta emblemática película que obtuvo seis nominaciones a los Oscar®, incluido el de la mejor película. Un retrato intenso de un hombre empujado a inyectar un poco de franqueza a una cultura hipócrita, Lenny es una película ingeniosa, imaginativa y extraordinaria. Desde su primer show este cómico de Catskills, Lenny Bruce, deja claro que es una figura a tener en cuenta. Armado con un discurso escandaloso y con una bailarina de striptease como musa (Valerine Perrine), Lenny revoluciona la comedia y a todos los Estados Unidos con su áspero y, a menudo, ofensivo humor. Pero la vida de los bares del circuito de la comedia comienza a hacer mella en él. Las drogas y arrestos por el contenido de sus actuaciones pesan demasiado a este paladín poco convencional... pero no le impiden llegar a unos extremos que le conducen a su trágico final, lo que le convierte en todo un mito.

Hilarious, raunchy. adult comedy. In clubs and theaters across the country, Lisa Lampanelli calls audience members colored, queer, bald, fat, and old. Do they get offended? Angry? No! They laugh uncontrollably and demand to know when she'll be back in town. After watching this hour-long concert--filmed live at Rascal's Comedy Club in West Orange, New Jersey--you'll see why! A cross between Don Rickles, Archie Bunker, and a vial of estrogen, Lisa lives up to her three favorite F-words: "Fierce, Funny, and Fearless"! She's got a bawdy personality, all-out honesty, and the insult comic's most essential quality--undeniable likability. All this adds up to one important 4-letter word: STAR.

Ellen DeGeneres has done everything, from starring in hit sitcoms and movies, to writing best-selling books, to having her own new talk show, but she's never forgotten her roots as a stand-up comedian. Taped at New York City's Beacon Theatre before a live audience, Ellen DeGeneres: Here and Now features the kind of humor that first made her a star, offering her offbeat insights into everyday life. Her feel-good humor touches on something that anyone can identify with, be it the obligatory gay joke, procrastination, fashion, public cell phone use, airline etiquette, or self-esteem.
