If you're already a fan of Dave Attell, I don't have to tell you how funny he is. He's a master technician of stand-up comedy and this is a must buy for any Dave Attell fan.

After seeing his half-hour special on Comedy Central, I was hooked. However, there weren't many live performances caught on tape. The performances that were available were so censored and rushed a lot of the jokes lost their impact.

Then came his CD release, "Skanks for the Memories..." which is probably the best Dave Attell set, period.

He also has a DVD available on his website called "Hey, You're Mouth's Not Pregnant!" which is a live club performance in the South. It's a good club performance with mostly new material and some cool DVD extras. The production is obviously self-produced, but it's still a solid and funny set.

I've seen Dave three times in the past two years. This latest release, "Captain Miserable," is comprised of about 85% new material. It's just amazing to watch this man work. He bounces from topic to topic; from drugs to anal sex to pedophilia. The jokes are constructed so perfectly and his delivery is unequalled.

There's a reason why other stand-up comics will end their sets early just to catch Dave do a midnight set at Caroline's. In short, he's the comedian's comedian. He was born to do stand-up comedy and this special really highlights exactly how honed his craft has become.

Loved this one so decided to pick it up on DVD and I must have watched it 3 times already. Mr Attell is one funny man, love his stand-up

Hilarious and envelope pushing. His reading of the audience is impeccable. His material is as edgy as Sam Kinison's comedy bits. (joke) I look forward to more of his works in the future-- he doesn't need to go on the road any more, he merits a late night talk show after Conan O'Brian because that's when the winos wake up after falling asleep in front of their TV sets. (unjoke) He's worth listening to again and again. I loved his (three words/phrases linked together for the punchline) the most in his monologue (What's the word to describe that punchline concept?).

if you're a fan of stand-up comedy, you already know about dave attell, & you cannot go without this dvd. you'll find yourself laughing from the very beginning, & quoting him after it's over. what a performer!

Dave Attell is one of the best comedians around and this set is very funny. I've been a fan of Dave's since his Insomniac show and his first stand-up on Comedy Central. This is adult humor and some may be put off by Dave's brand of humor......I think he's hilarious! Grab some beer and some friends and get ready to laugh your A$$ off! The DVD looks and sounds great and it has some very funny, but short extra material. I would have loved to have the Comedy Central stand-up on here as a bonus, but two different companies so, I guess not.

If you are a fan of "cringe humor" then this is the dvd for you. Attell leaves no subject untouched and is brilliantly funny in this insightful show. I watched it with my then current now previous former girlfriend and it was a bit much for her, but well, what do I care especially now that she is my ex.

If you don't know who Dave Attell is or only know him from his Comedy Central show, then you are missing out. This is one of the best stand-up comedy acts in the history of the medium, at the very top of his game.

The DVD show is a consistently great performance and the only people I would NOT recommend it to are kids and prudes. This is raunchy, at times Dave goes out of his way to offend, but it's that raw honesty that makes the comedy work so well. For the rest of you....prepare to laugh, a lot.

Dave Attell is very funny!!! I laughed the whole time I watched "Captain Miserable." Some of his humour is a bit raw, so if you are offended by "dirty jokes", this won't be for you. It's not the type of DVD you will watch with the family, but if you want some adult humour, Dave is your man.

Hilarious! Dave Attell is the man, and still at the top of his game. One of the best stand-up comedians out there.

if you are a fan of comedians, then you know who Dave Attell is. He's one of the best in the country. I enjoyed this, his latest, DVD production.

must-buy Dave material: "Insomniac volumes 1 & 2"
