    got my comedian dvd today in the post.
    i just finished watching it.
    it's pretty good, nice to get a little insight into the world of standup and how difficult it is.
    there are a good few extras, but i haven't watched them yet.

    the documentary focuses a fair bit on orny adams - man, this dude has got some serious issues he needs to work out. he's definetely a candidate for a shrink. wished it just focused on jerry and would like to have seen the hour+ of material he came up with in the end - hopefully he'll do another hbo special and release it on dvd.

    man it would be great if he came to ireland - no chance of that though, dude never left america, i'd say!

    would love to see that standup from bill cosby, jerry and chris rock seemed blown away by it - rock said it was "killer!".

    I got it too in the post I enjoyed it a great insightful view from Jer and the stresses and strans of comedy. I wish he would come too but he came to London a few years ago.:)

    Enjoyed watching it again.

    You do know Orny Adams is performing in the Murphy's Cat Laughs Festival this weekend in Kilkenny.

    Unfortunaltely I cant go, although I'm not sure whether I'd like to see him. His "comic" status is still pending IMO, and although he has the same manager and perhaps some of the analytical work ethos of Jerry he has a long way to go. The main thing he has to do is be able to take constructive criticism on the chin- something he seems to be unable to do.

    After watching it again, I went on a Bill Cosby download frenzy. I forgot how funny he actually is!!
