Critically acclaimed comedian Frankie Boyle presents his hotly-anticipated first live stand-up DVD.

Ashley Gavin: Live in Chicago

IMDB 10 | Apr , 2023

It's Ashley Gavin's debut comedy special! You might know her from Comedy Central, Netflix, or as Carnival Cruise line's first openly gay performer. Maybe you've seen her viral TikToks and have been waiting for this hour long comedy special for years. To you she might just be the lesbian comedian and the host of the We're Having Gay Sex & Chosen Family podcasts. This is her debut special, so she really came to introduce herself to the world as a stand up comedian, and nothing else. Of course, LGBT issues will be covered, but there is way more. We get into emotional eating, deconstructing pro life arguments, feminism, women's rights, and what the supreme court should have done, dating and relationships, and even a little bit of good old fashion small talk.

Posehn 25x2

IMDB 7.1 | Jan , 2017

Posehn laments the recent loss of his heroes to death and just generally being horrible people. He also professes re-found love for a certain sci-fi franchise, and manages to rip on a few recent bands like the aging rocker he is. It's personal, silly, profane, dry and screwed up and sometimes all at once.

Dave Chappelle: For What It's Worth

IMDB 7.6 | Sep , 2004

Comedian Dave Chappelle does what he does best in this outrageous and hilarious standup performance, which allows him to push the envelope far beyond what he does on his TV show. Taped in San Francisco at the famed Fillmore, Chappelle lets loose on such topics as black celebrities, what it's like to have raunchy fans of his TV show approach him while he's trying to enjoy Disneyland with his kids, Michael Jackson, Kobe Bryant... and crackheads, of course. It's comedy Chappelle-style and, for what it's worth, no one is safe from his barbs. But you already knew that!
