DVD Description

In addition to over one and a half hours of stand-up the DVD also contains extras.

Customer Reviews

World's Greatest Stand Up? I think so.
This DVD provides a range of comedy from some of the most talented comedians in the business.

The line-up provided a good mix of humours, from fast-paced laugh-a-second (like Lee Evans) to cool and easy humour (such as Tim Allen). Being one of the few fans of Frasier...I was particularly pleased to see David Hyde Pierce who, despite this being a `rare performance', seemed to be quite at home. Extras include short but entertaining backstage interviews and a general look at the Montreal Festival, which are both worth a look.

Not all of the jokes were to my taste, which must be expected with such a range. However, this is why the DVD is good as it has something for everyone.

Buying a DVD of stand-up comedy can seem like a waste of money (watch it once and that's it), but these comedians are so great that this is certainly something I would watch again soon.

Black, White, Irish or American, this one is for you!!
This DVD is a great mixture of some of the top comedians in the world. It includes some surprise performances from people such as David Hyde Pearce, Tim Allen and Denis Leary. This DVD will show some of the best 7 minute sets you ever will see with top notch performances from Dave Chappelle, Dara O'Briain and Wanda Sykes. However, Jeremy Hotz stole the show for me at thend with a comedy masterclass!!
Well worth a buy and something to suit everyone's taste with very little offensive material and a wide range of genres and personalities that will have you howling with laughter...

Very disappointing!
I was disappointed when I watched this DVD because the comedians on this DVD weren't very funny in my opinion. One or two were hildarious, but apart from them it was boring and I ended up selling it.
I don't recommend, but if you are easily amused then go ahead!
