Comedian (2002)


An intimate and at times painful look at two comedians, Jerry Seinfeld and Orny Adams. This documentary takes place after Seinfeld's TV show and follows Jerry as he crafts a totally new act. Orny Adams is still trying to make his way up and adds contrast to Jerry's style both in comedy and in life. To be honest the story line is pretty boring and the actual stand up is few and far between but there was something really exciting about this film. I really enjoyed this oddball angle on the actual craft of stand-up comedy and what brings stand-ups back for more.

4 stars out of 5
