Abbuzze! Der Badesalz-Film
IMDB 6.6 | Jan , 1996
The film mainly consists of various, often grotesque episodes. There is also a frame story from which the episodes are derived. However, the connection between the frame story and the episodes is very weak. Many episodes revolve around surveillance and security. In the frame story, insurance agent Erich and Richard are stuck together in an elevator that is unusually large for an apartment building (about 3x3 meters). While Erich wants to get out as quickly as possible, Richard isn't actually in any hurry, as he seems to live in the elevator.Paddy McGuinness - Saturday Night Live

Let the party see the people! The star of ITV1's primetime dating show, Take Me Out is back on tour for 2011!

Watch him live and at his funniest on one of 2011's most eagerly anticipated stand-up tours.Louis-José Houde : Tu n'es pas spécial
IMDB 6 | Feb , 2025
It is a question here of deploying all the humor inherent in the act of having a first child at the age of forty-five... But it is also a question of civic-mindedness, respect for intelligence, weight words, the weight of the self, the triumph of the “I”, then a little bit of Henri Richard and people who say “knock on wood”. A vibrant soliloquy on life and the art of living it.Jimmy Della Valle: It's Just A Jimmyism

IMDB 7.4 | Nov , 2005
Carlin returns to the stage in his 13th live comedy stand-up special, performed at the Beacon Theatre in New York City for HBO®. His spot-on observations on the deterioration of human behavior include Americans’ obsession with their two favorite addictions - shopping and eating; his creative idea for The All-Suicide Channel, a new reality TV network; and the glorious rebirth of the planet to its original pristine condition - once the fires and floods destroy life as we know it.Bill Hicks: Sane Man
IMDB 7.2 | Dec , 1989
Sane Man was filmed before Bill recorded ‘Dangerous’, his first comedy album, and is a turning point in Hicks’ career.

Dry, wry and hilariously deadpan, Steven Wright unleashes a torrent of ironic and hysterical thought-provoking one-liners in the quirky stand-up style that has become his trademark.
