The Comedians of Comedy
THE COMEDIANS OF COMEDY, the critically acclaimed documentary which
became the critically acclaimed Comedy Central six-episode series, will be continuing to tour the country this fall. The Comedians of Comedy will once again be bringing their risk-taking comedy out of the typical stale comedy clubs and into rock clubs, theatres, and other indie venues. Most recently, they played to a packed tent of fans as the first comedy show to be asked to be a part of the world-famous Coachella Music Festival. Created by Patton Oswalt in a fit of rage and optimism, and consisting of a core of comedians — Maria Bamford, Zach Galifianakis and Brian Posehn — all of whom have gained greater national exposure through the CoC film and TV show. Maria has released a second album (How to Win!) and Brian just released his first (Live In:Nerd Rage, on Relapse Records). Zach has released a concert DVD, Live at the Purple Onion, and has just directed and starred in a video for Kanye West. Patton’s new album, Werewolves and Lollipops (SubPop), is currently the #1 album on iTunes Comedy, and the #3812 album on iTunes Hip-Hop. Plus, all of them have been doing films and TV shows like they’re big shots or something. Brian’s a regular on The Sarah Silverman Program, and appears in Fantastic Four 2 and Surf’s Up, Maria’s got her own SuperDeluxe.com show as well as being a regular on Tim and Eric’s Awesome Show, Great Job!, and Zach will be appearing in the upcoming Sean Penn film Into the Wild, and starring in the indie feature Visioneers. Patton is the lead voice in Pixar’s Ratatouille, and will be appearing in the upcoming features Balls of Fury, Sex and Death 101, and All Roads Lead Home. The Comedians of Comedy: Live at the Troubadour DVD featuring the core group of comedians along with a slew of very special guests comes out in October, and will coincide with the nationwide tour. This concert film will also premiere on Comedy Central. With an ever-rotating roster of talents, the CoC is sure to make your bar mitzvah or mandatory retirement party a success! |
