Here's hip-hop comedy on the edge, filled with rage and loaded with truth!

Billy Connolly: Live in Dublin 2002 presents highlights from the Big Yin's 2002 stage tour. The program is divided in two, the first part offering an hour from his Dublin show, the second delivering 45 minutes of highlights from eight other performances. Now 60, age has not withered Connolly--even if, as he is fond of reminding us, his pubic hair has turned grey--and his restless energy, enthusiasm, casual obscenity, and anger is as intense as ever. And, of course, very, very funny. Whether talking about the horrors of a prostate examination or reminiscing about his youth, Connolly has the audience in hysterics.

Billy Connolly delivers his special brand of stand-up comedy and abrasive humour in front of a celebrity audience.

Hell No I Ain’t Happy is the first time that Rich Hall and his jailbird uncle, Otis Lee Crenshaw, have appeared together on one DVD. Recorded on one fantastic night at London’s legendary Hammersmith Apollo during his sell out UK tour, Rich Hall’s acerbic comic genius proves to be the perfect host to the hard living country musician Otis Lee Crenshaw, whose songs may not make the top of the country charts, but are right on the money when it comes to laughs.

In this live set he lampoons the BBC, Crossroads, his early gigging days in flea-pit theatres and even his audience!

I "Big Time Paranoia" introducerer Gintberg publikum for et helt nyt begreb - comedy terapi – hvilket var noget, der i den grad fik løsnet lattermusklerne hos publikum og anmelderne, da showet turnerede landet i foråret 2007. Med sin energiske, sarkastiske og selvironiske fremtoning beviser Jan Gintberg, at man i stedet for at søge læge måske kan løse egne problemer blot ved at åbne for lattermusklerne og give los. I løbet af to timer har publikum overgivet sig og forstået budskabet.

This is a great performance. Through yelling and energetic story-telling, he talks about marriage, drugs, being arrested (thanks to his ex-wife), pleasing women, religion, and much, much more.

In this special, Patton Oswalt expresses his thoughts on many things in his life including his friends and his girlfriend in particular, who he thinks sucks the funny out of him. He explains why babies are a "bag of poop" and eating dinner at Black Angus is fit for a king. Oswalt holds nothing back when he deliverers his punch-lines! It's an hour of over-exuberant comedy!
