Divorce, dysfunction, and a Diesel jeans model all add up to another painfully funny stand-up performance by Christopher Titus. With apologies to Barbra Streisand, not for Titus is love soft as an easy chair. It is, to hear him tell it, a dark, dark abyss that inspires thoughts of suicide and murder. Titus chronicles in excruciating detail the breakup of his 15-year marriage. This is, he admits, his side of the story, but he is as harsh on himself ("I'm just a thin layer of charming with some funny sprinkles wrapped around a huge creamy center of raging, arrogant a-hole," he states) as he is on his ex. His most cutting material concerns his alcoholic father and "Batman villain" of a mother, who were not exactly matrimonial role models. As this piece unfolds, we cringe with the anticipation of some fresh hell visited upon Titus. In one memorable segment, he recalls asking his father to tell him the story of how Titus was conceived. His father ominously responds, "You sure you want to hear this?" Titus employs a much less PC version of Jim Gaffigan's inner voice that he calls his "inner retard," who adds his own commentary on Titus' psyche-scarred life. The world will always welcome lovers, so the old song goes, but Love is Evol, Titus promises, "will either fix your relationship or destroy it." Either way, he adds, "you're welcome." This generous DVD contains an expanded, 85 min. version of the Comedy Central broadcast, with entertaining, anti-romantic extras, including tales of horrific breakups from Titus fans waiting in line, and a two-week countdown to Valentine's Day. What's not to love? --Donald Liebenson

5.0 out of 5 stars Great, even divorced! February 24, 2009

By Jacob Colson

As harsh as this title sounds "Love is Evol", it's uplifting in the end, and makes us wonder, hmm....maybe there's not as much love there as we thought there was, considering his show Titus was all about love and staying together. But then again, he didn't get married in the show either. I remember going to one of his "5th Annual End of the World" tour shows in TExas. When my dad and I went home that night, and the next morning, the radio was talking about Chris and Erin's divorce. Wow, what a moment to revisit with this special.

IF you're thinking, could my son or daughter see this? Even though it's an hour and twenty three minutes, he just has a few "f" words, and [....] gets thrown around a few times too. Other than that, it's not as dirty as one would think with a special like this.

Considering the show itself, it's awesome. I've seen Christopher Titus once live, and I would love to see him again. Highly recommended for a Christopher Titus fan!

5.0 out of 5 stars Theraputic! September 23, 2009

By Jacob L. Moore

Very funny, but what I liked best was that it was really helpful because it made me realize that the abuse that my ex put me through wasn't my fault. The bit about apologizing for getting stabbed really struck a chord. I had been blaming myself for the way that she treated me, this performance made the hurt go away for a while, brought some much needed laughter to an extremely broken heart, and made me realize that I was lucky it didn't work out. Fantastic.

5.0 out of 5 stars Most original comedian in years. March 22, 2009

By L. Crittenden

I absolutely love the work of Christopher Titus. His new special is no exception. Christopher is a master at working real-life into his act. He never fails to amaze me with his ability to handle situations that would psychologically cripple most others. He is a comic genius. I would love to see his other special "The End of The World Tour" on video. That would complete my collection.
