As a whole, the collection is a disappointment, but there are some individual performances that absolutely succeeded and are certainly worth a listen. If it were up to me, I'd advise someone buy mp3 versions of these standouts.
Eugene Mirman is always a win and Todd Barry's crowd-interactive routine is notable, but it was Aziz Ansari, to me, that really stood out.
Sadly, I thought David Cross fell flat, and he was the reason I bought the cd.
I was torn between the two and three-star rating because there are some gems, but the album as a whole just wasn't worth my time. There is a definite contrast in performances which created an awkward herd-thinning experience that I probably won't sit through again.
I only burned a few to my itunes and called it even.
