5.0 out of 5 stars Support your need for the Comic!, July 16, 2010

This review is from: I Am Comic (DVD)

I like comedy, almost any kind really, light, dark, slapstick, stand up, etc. The life of a stand up comic would be great, right? Hanging around fun people, full of laughs and more, for sure...after viewing this interesting and humorous `insiders' look at the world of stand up, it's clear that it takes a certain kind of person to succeed, no matter how talented that person may be. If you love to laugh, and ever wondered what it might be like to be a stand up comic, you'll enjoy this one immensely. I enjoyed the sheer number of the very talented funny people here who candidly and humorously conveyed what it's like to be in their `shoes'; some were new to me and some were not, Tommy Davidson has a unique approach, he's a riot, as is Kathy Griffin, Sarah Silverman, Tim Allen, Margaret Cho...so many faces, all hilarious in their own ways...see this movie and then go out and support your local comics!

5.0 out of 5 stars A fascinating look at standup, September 30, 2010

This review is from: I Am Comic (DVD)

As an up-and-coming standup comedian, I found this movie to be extremely interesting. As great as Jerry Seinfeld's "Comedian" was, this movie really digs deep into the life of a comedian. Clearly, standup is not for everyone, but those who do it (generally) absolutely love it. The movie talks with such greats as Tim Allen, Tom Arnold, Roseanne, Sarah Silverman, Bobcat, Jeff Foxworthy, and more. They share how they got started, hecklers, and those horrible gigs that every comedian dreads. If you're thinking of a life of standup, you may first want to look at this film. However, even if you just like standup and can appreciate what they do, you'll also enjoy this movie.

5.0 out of 5 stars GREAT COMEDY DOC!, August 7, 2010

By 

TreatW - See all my reviews

This review is from: I Am Comic (DVD)

This is a heartwarming hilarious film that covers aspects many comedy films don't; the genesis of famous bits from comics like Sara Silverman, the road, sitcom, comeyd burnout. But my favorite part was Ritch Shydner who went from narrator to trying a comeback after 12 years. I loved how revealing he was, how he needed drugs when he was a comic to keep the high going, and his need for anti-depressants when he quit. This is a great sleeper. Will be a cult film about the comedy world for years to come.
