IMDB 6.8 | Feb , 2010
In front of a live audience at the Raleigh Memorial Auditorium at the Progress Energy Center for the Performing Arts in Raleigh, North Carolina, the Emmy-nominated host of Real Time with Bill Maher performs an all-new hour of stand-up comedy. Among the topics Bill discusses in his ninth HBO solo special are: Whether the "Great Recession" is really over; the fake patriotism of the right wing; what goes on in the mind of a terrorist; why Obama needs a posse instead of the secret service; the drug war; Michael Jackson; getting out of Iraq and Afghanistan; racism; the Teabagger movement; religion; the health-care fight; why Gov. Mark Sanford will come out looking good, and how silly it is to ask "Why do men cheat?"; and why comedy most definitely didn't die when George Bush left office.Ed Byrne: Pedantic & Whimsical
IMDB 6.7 | Aug , 2006
Ed Byrne is one of the most prolific young comedians in the UK and as an observational stand-up considered unrivalled. He has performed five hit UK tours and has made his London West End debut in a two-week run at The New Ambassadors Theatre. Throughout the spring of 2005 he performed a sell-out tout of the UK with his show 'Me Again'. This performance was filmed at the City Varieties in Leeds in March 2005 and contains all of Ed Byrne's best material from the past ten years.Robin Williams: Weapons of Self Destruction

IMDB 6.9 | Jan , 2003
Maher addresses contemporary political, social and cultural topics -- Iraq, President Bush and the so called Axis of Evil. The opinionated Maher said about Victory Begins at Home: "We've heard everything about the War on Terrorism except what we can actually do to help win it. The government used to do that for us through propaganda (the positive kind) posters, so taking my cue from the great old posters of World War I and World War II ('Loose Lips Sink Ships,' 'Buy War Bonds,' 'Plant a Victory Garden,' etc.) I commissioned artists to paint the posters our government today should be putting out to help us win this war."May I Speak with the Enemy?
