4.0 out of 5 stars Slightly Over-rated, November 20, 2002

Some bits are better than others. A lot of the pieces would have been stronger had they not been ripped from the context of the performers' full appearance. One annoyance is that some of the people in the audience are so close to the mic that their laughing overpowers the voice of the performer. Andy Dick does a very funny song and Julia Sweeny is very winning in her performace.

this may have been an interesting concept album - and more fun in person - but
for my taste it was poorly recorded, too loud, and not very funny.

5.0 out of 5 stars Good comedy on CD? Un-Believable! No, it's The Un & Only., March 19, 2002

What's the first thing you think of at the words, comedy album? Okay, now travel to the far opposite end of the spectrum, and you'll find The Un & Only, Beth Lapides' outstanding new CD that assembles highlights from her long-running Sunday night L.A. comedy show, Un-Cabaret. In an era where recorded comedy usually stoops to lowest-common-denominator antics, The Un & Only is a refreshing change of pace featuring some of the best comic minds working today.

Structured as an open forum where performers are encouraged to share personal stories, the Un-Cabaret plays to each artist's strengths as comic storytellers, avoiding altogether the standard "jokeyness" rampant in comedy today. The comics assembled here do not have -- or need -- a hook or a gag to express their humor. They're just genuinely funny people sharing personal anecdotes as if among friends. Among the highlights of this album are Patton Oswalt's "The End of an Era," Mike McDonald's "Faye Dunaway's Comedy Coach," Dana Gould's "The Money Truck" and Andy Kindler's "Hey, Mistah!"

Choosing tracks to single out is a little pointless, however, because all of the talent here is outstanding. Other performers include Bob Odenkirk (HBO's Mr. Show with Bob & David), Scott Thompson (Kids in the Hall), Julia Sweeney (Saturday Night Live), Jeff Garlin (HBO's Curb Your Enthusiasm), Andy Dick (Ben Stiller Show, NewsRadio, The Andy Dick Show), Laura Kightlinger and more. Beth periodically chimes in with her own comments, delivering the intimate, Un-Cabaret experience to a worldwide audience, in what is hopefully the first of many Un-Cabaret CDs to come.
