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!
