Doug Stanhope: Word of Mouth (2002)

Fedoras, mom's underpants, and puppy love all make Jim Norton's s**t list in 'Mouthful of Shame'.

Carlin returns to the stage in his 13th live comedy stand-up special, performed at the Beacon Theatre in New York City for HBO®. His spot-on observations on the deterioration of human behavior include Americans’ obsession with their two favorite addictions - shopping and eating; his creative idea for The All-Suicide Channel, a new reality TV network; and the glorious rebirth of the planet to its original pristine condition - once the fires and floods destroy life as we know it.

Un "roast" es una tradición estadounidense, una fiesta en que amigos del homenajeado se turnan para ponerle verde y llamarle de todo... luego, como la cosa no deja de ser una fiesta, el invitado tiene turno de réplica. Comedy Central lleva años explotando este formato con estrellas caídas en desgracia que se prestan al juego, y el equipo mezcla comediantes habituales con invitados especiales que sí conocen al homenajeado. Este es el especial dedicado a Justin Bieber.

La historia ambientada en el mundo de los comediantes de standup (los monologuistas), y concretamente en George Simmons, un famoso cómico que descubre de repente que le queda poco tiempo de vida.

El comediante mexicano Franco Escamilla saca sus chistes de las experiencias de la vida real y está dispuesto a hacer cualquier cosa por el nuevo material.

In front of a live audience at the Raleigh Memorial Auditorium at the Progress Energy Center for the Performing Arts in Raleigh, North Carolina, the Emmy-nominated host of Real Time with Bill Maher performs an all-new hour of stand-up comedy. Among the topics Bill discusses in his ninth HBO solo special are: Whether the "Great Recession" is really over; the fake patriotism of the right wing; what goes on in the mind of a terrorist; why Obama needs a posse instead of the secret service; the drug war; Michael Jackson; getting out of Iraq and Afghanistan; racism; the Teabagger movement; religion; the health-care fight; why Gov. Mark Sanford will come out looking good, and how silly it is to ask "Why do men cheat?"; and why comedy most definitely didn't die when George Bush left office.

Película basada en la vida del cómico Rudy Ray Moore, quien a menudo incluía en sus monólogos rimas bastante explícitas sobre distintos asuntos sexuales como las prostitutas, los proxenetas y los gigolós. Estas rimas las hacía siempre con ritmo y rapeando, lo que le valió el apodo de "padrino del rap", por el cual se le conoció hasta el fin de sus días. Moore llegó a lo más alto en los años 70, cuando sus grabaciones poco conocidas empezaron a hacerse populares entre la comunidad negra. El rapero aprovechó esos beneficios para hacer una película de gran éxito llamada Dolemite, centrada en un proxeneta con un harén de prostitutas expertas en el arte del kung-fu.

Sobre el escenario del Teatro del Soho de Málaga, el actor Dani Rovira aporta su visión más sincera, delirante y sin filtros sobre el ser humano en estos tiempos.

Justo el guion es otra de las cosas que merecen la pena, en tanto que esta bien estructurado, con ideas claras y situaciones que vivimos cada día, mas con ese toque millennial que lo caracteriza. Un espectáculo no ha de ser eterno para ser bueno y en el caso del singular Maleducado aplica con perfección, puesto que te entretiene y divierte a lo largo de los poco más de cincuenta minutos de duración, que lucen perfectos y te dejan satisfecho.

Un retrato divertido, íntimo y desgarrador de uno de los comediantes más queridos e inventivos del mundo, Robin Williams, contado en gran parte a través de sus propias palabras.

Emma y Dexter se conocen el día de su graduación universitaria, el 15 de julio de 1988. Ella es una chica de clase trabajadora que sueña con hacer del mundo un lugar mejor. Él es un joven rico con ganas de comerse el mundo. Durante los siguientes veinte años, las vidas de ambos se cruzan y separan, su amistad se debilita o se refuerza y comparten la risa y el romance, el dolor y la alegría.

In "Deadbeat Hero," Stanhope tackles all of the most relevant and controversial issues of our times: Abortion, "liberty," war, whether blindly supporting the troops is a good thing, the drug war, the Alabama-Mississippi ban on dildos and other sex toys, gay marriage and priest molestations. More bizarre topics include two-head babies, his suicidal cat-lady mother, and more.

Doug Stanhope has been a stand-up comic since 1990. Recorded in Salt Lake City, UT at The Complex on July 19, 2011, this is the follow up to the widely praised Oslo: Burning The Bridge To Nowhere.

Recorded in an abandoned factory in the Grünerløkka suburb of Oslo, Norway, this performance is as spontaneous and unhinged as anything Stanhope has ever done. Originally a sewing machine factory converted to a German WWII bunker, the setting for Oslo is anything but conventional. Whereas most comedy specials are filmed on an elaborate stage, Stanhope and Nikon Norway filled a dilapidated industrial space with lights and folding chairs, ultimately allowing the material be the focus of this release.

Bill Maher delivers a great stand-up routine based on the political atmosphere heading into the 2012 Presidential Election. Fun and outrageous!

Political comedy about the Government (domestic and foreign policies), the president, the public's own ignorance and faults, and so forth. He also makes some hilarious detours in his own renditions of rap lyrics read out in proper, coherent (non-Ebonic) language. There are also some very poignant pieces on Bush, religion, drugs (notably marijuana), which then link to homeland security. Unlike a comedian like George Carlin who may go from topics in the 'big world' in his act to things in the 'little world' like spotting the random things in life, Maher is very much a comedian of the times, on the attack but clear about his political allegiances.

As always, Carvey never crosses the line into mean-spiritedness, but easily glides in and out of every impression & expression, reminding us of the huge talent we came to know and love before he left the scene due to his heart condition. It's a bittersweet irony that Dana Carvey is one comic who is ALL heart...

Not all stand-up comedy is spot-cleaned and pre-packaged for the masses. Like the legends who were born out of smokey, booze-soaked nightclubs of decades past, Doug Stanhope spews his own brand of moral outrage in an unmatched style that borders on self-destruction. Nothing is sacred, no subject off-limits and most importantly nothing is contrived. From critically acclaimed appearances at the Ed

Called "Comedy's Lovable Queen of Mean" (New York Times) and "Howard Stern on estrogen" (Toronto Star), Lisa Lampanelli is the insult comic for a new generation. Now, with a onehour special airing on Comedy Central, she makes her major-label debut with that same outrageous, in-your-face performance on CD and DVD with Take It Like A Man, recorded live at The Improv in Hollywood, FL. Shocking and hilarious, no-holds-barred and politically incorrect, Lampanelli is Don Rickles with breasts and major PMS.
