Editorial Reviews

From AudioFile

While the enjoyment of comedy varies by taste and opinon, this album of 10 performances on 10 cassettes might have something for everyone. The background laughter puts everyone in a good mood for each comedian's performance, and the sounds of and from the band and the extraneous guffaws from the audience only enhance the pieces. The content of the material needs to be previewed if one plans to listen in company. Brian Regan gives the one performance the whole family can listen to and laugh at together, and Bobby Collins is fine for the 15-year-and-older crowd. The other individual tapes might make great gifts for your friends of different sophistication levels. J.P. © AudioFile 2002, Portland, Maine-- Copyright © AudioFile, Portland, Maine

5.0 out of 5 stars They STAY hilarious. I wore out the last set!, November 19, 2003

I was making an all night drive down I-40 and I was sleepy when I started. I stopped at a truckstop in Little Rock and found these, or who knows, maybe God led me to them cause they kept me wide awake all night long. You'll never buy this many of your own chuckles, peels of laughter, and gallons of giggles for this little money - EVER - again in your whole life. That makes this tape set the best deal on the net.

I'm buying a new set for myself and several sets for christmas gifts. But let me warn you, don't ever give out a tape from your own set because no one ever returns them!

This stuff is hilarious! I don't know how they do it. John Pinette at the buffet and his hottest day of the year in the amusement and water park are some of the funniest things I've ever heard, and each tape is somehow better than the previous one, Brian Regan, Pablo Francisco, Richard Jeni - just thinking of them makes me want to listen again. I laughed so hard I cried. I needed that. Don't miss this set. Beg, borrow, (well, don't steal), but get them.

If you need to laugh, and who doesn't(?) get these tapes! They are too funny to describe here - just trust me on this. You'll feel better in the morning if you take two of these before bed!
