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!

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.

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.

This is one of those shows that after watching you laugh for days.
The show makes light of some of the hardest time any body goes through when your spouse drags your sole though the coals of hell. And how strange it is waking up happy when its over
Thanks Chris you made sense of it all. Looking forward to your next DVD

For those of you who saw this on comedy central, they took away so much! I was not at the show, but know some people who were.. this DVD is going to be worth it, comedy central left out so much.

Titus is back off his divorce and with a new hottie who "[......]", lol. This show will take you for a roller coaster of laughs, Titus style. Talking about what he learned of love and divorce, he gives us lessons on many different things: how to ruin a relationship, how to keep one, how to spice it up, how to analyze it, and how to make it last.

I have been waiting for this since "Norman Rockwell is Bleeding", and I was not disappointed at all; this was funny as hell. Although.. it might get a bad rap cause he does not talk about his family as much, so take those comments with a grain of salt.

Welcome back Titus, we missed you.

This is hilarious! Some friends and I went to this show when they filmed it and it is true Titus. Coming off his divorce and with stories to tell this is a must see for all people in, out and done with relationships.

I love Christopher Titus! This is one of his best!! Wonderfully funny--Definetly one to get for my collection! He makes great fun of his past and present relationships and you will enjoy his jokes.

Christopher Titus is a brilliant comedian. He perfectly understands the problems that crop up in relationships and makes them funny. Great laughs!!

I fell in love with Titus on comedy central. Love is Evol came out and blew me out of the water! I laughed and laughed. If you are a Titus fan or just looking for a Great comedian, this is a great buy!

When it comes to DVDs, it's safe to say that stand-up performances form an important cross section of my collection. From classic mainstays like George Carlin and Robin Williams to more recent acts like Jim Gaffigan the bases are pretty well covered. Still, I don't think any catalog is complete without Christopher Titus hopping from personal experience to personal experience pointing out how strained our lives have become within the never-ending vacuum known as society.

In his third outing, Chris quickly amends the insanity that made Norman Rockwell Is Bleeding and The 5th Annual End Of The World Tour successful with his various tales of marital discord. Whereas the aforementioned shows focused on a variety of topics while using a dedicated cast of "players," Love is Evol is a little more focused in its pursuits. It goes without saying that divorce and the situations surrounding it are often ugly, but it's a joy to see it tackled as it is here, where it is knocked to the ground and righteously smothered with a pillow.

The real treat is this experience fails to get heavy handed. While one can't say these moments are an outright flaw of Titus' shows, it is awkward how these segments of personal evaluation stop a routine on a dime despite their noble intention. Love is Evol also makes a small gain that's in direct correlation to the faults in the recently released Neverlution! Again, I can't say what is exactly to blame for the perceived hesitation in that special but is helps bolster this show against its slightly superior predecessors.

As odd as it may sound given this is a review for the DVD, the real question that surrounds Love is Evol is whether to opt for the DVD or the audio recording. While Chris has a much better stage presence than someone like Jim Gaffigan (who is so stoic throughout his performances it isn't even funny) I have to suggest the audio recording. In general, the more portable you can make Titus the better although there are obvious exceptions - Norman Rockwell Is Bleeding greatly benefits from its video even though the audio is good on its own. Regardless of which path you choose, Love is Evol is more than capable of holding its own if you're willing to listen.
