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.

Tracy Morgan’s first stand-up special on the channel, Black and Blue. Performing at New York City’s Apollo Theater, the 30 Rock star let his demented brand of humor loose on the crowd. His jokes hit on everything from politics and airport security to borderline inappropriate quips we can’t include here. Audience members doubled over in laughter. Yup, he was that funny.

"Но я не ошибаюсь" - концерт американского политического сатирика Билла Мара, который он дал в феврале 2010 года специально для теканала HBO. Джордж Буш больше не управляет США, на борт номер один поднимается первый чернокожий президент в истории Соединённых штатов, а Биллу Мару всё еще есть о чём едко пошутить. Этот концерт для тех, кто хоть что-то понимает в американской политике и положительно относится к резкой политической сатире - у Билла есть чему поучиться нашим комикам. Тему религии, конечно же, он не обошёл стороной...

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...

Выступление Билла Мара в Бостоне 21 июля 2007. В этом Шоу Мар настойчиво и с особой любовью стебёт над Джорджем Бушем и над республиканской партией США. Не обошёл стороной тему рекламы, религии и секса. Конечно, это шоу - самая настоящая политическая сатира, и с этого концерта Билла начинает конкретно заносить влево (в политическом смысле слова).

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."
