IMDB 5.3 | Aug , 2019
The handsome and funny host of The Soup on E! and star of the hit NBC show, Community, brings you his first stand-up special ever. Joel McHale discusses everything from feeding alligators in the south to wanting to change the San Francisco 49er’s name to something a little more relevant. This is not actually filmed in Pyongyang, but it’s definitely a stand-up special and it's 100% really filmed in San Jose. Go Seahawks!Jon Reep: Ginger Beard Man

The debut one hour comedy special commedian Ronny Chieng performed at the Edinburgh Fringe Festival 2013. It represents the best of his award winning material from the first 4 years of his career from 2009-2013, from that first small gig in a small room of the University of Melbourne, all the way to the Sydney Opera House, Melbourne's Town Hall, London's SOHO theatre and Montreal's Just For Laughs TV Gala.

East Friesian Otto moves to the big city Hamburg. There he gets into trouble with a loan shark and needs to find a way to impress his love interest Silvia.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.Frankie Boyle: Live

IMDB 7.6 | Oct , 2003

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.I Want Someone to Eat Cheese With
IMDB 5.5 | Apr , 2006
Life has its downs for James, living with his mom in Chicago at 39, an aging performer at Second City, eating and weighing too much.

A hapless talent manager named Danny Rose, by helping a client, gets dragged into a love triangle involving the mob. His story is told in flashback, an anecdote shared amongst a group of comedians over lunch at New York's Carnegie Deli. Rose's one-man talent agency represents countless incompetent entertainers, including a one-legged tap dancer, and one slightly talented one: washed-up lounge singer Lou Canova, whose career is on the rebound.Heckler
IMDB 5.9 | Nov , 2007
HECKLER is a comedic feature documentary exploring the increasingly critical world we live in.

This fast moving, hilarious documentary pulls no punches as you see an uncensored look at just how nasty and mean the fight is between those in the spotlight and those in the dark.Dylan Moran: Like, Totally
IMDB 7.6 | Nov , 2006
Dylan Moran returns with an all-new stand-up show. Unpredictable, startling, bizarre, elegiac, but above all brilliant and hilariously funny, Moran is a master of comedy.
