COMEDIANS OF COMEDY offers a raw, behind-the-scenes look at a group of cutting edge comedians. A crew of documentary filmmakers follow stand-up veteran Patton Oswalt ("King of Queens," SEE THIS MOVIE) and fellow comics Brian Posehn ("Just Shoot Me," DEVIL'S REJECTS, "Sarah Silverman: Jesus Is Magic"), Zach Galifianakis and Maria Bamford (BARNYARD (voice)) on The Comedians of Comedy Tour. Rather than tour conventional comedy clubs, the group tours indie rock venues across America in an effort to bring alternative comedy to audiences nationwide. Directed by Michael Blieden, the film offers a mixture of performance clips and behind-the-scenes footage. [More]

Reviews for Comedians of Comedy
...Oswalt's one-hour Comedy Central special contains more laughs than this...
While there is a great deal of laughter among the quartet, there's scarcely a giggle in it for the audience.
Michael Blieden's indulgent and often numbingly slow documentary follows four semiknown comedians on a tour of the United States.
Watching the quartet doing laundry, playing arcade games, or getting haircuts evokes the banality of road life far too accurately, and at 105 minutes, the film hardly leaves us wanting more.
Between the stand-up routines and the day to day craziness, there’s hardly a chance to catch your breath.
Credit the talent for their skill and timing and ability to riff, but also [credit director] Michael Blieden, who shows that his work on Melvin Comes to Dinner was no fluke.
