The Comedy Central Sampler

by

Various Artists - Comedy Central

 
  • We Say...

    In the Woody Allen film Crimes and Misdemeanors, the character played by Alan Alda issues the following guideline for comedy: "If it bends, it's funny — if it breaks, it's not funny." The standups on this Comedy Central sampler are experts in the art of the bend. Whether it's Dave Attell's cantankerous diatribe on the strange culture of bus stations, Mitch Hedberg's giddy, free-wheeling food monologue, the wound-up social commentary by D.L. Hughely or bizarro absurdist ruminations of Harland Williams, all of the routines featured here feel out the boundary between the funny and the preposterous — and push their subject matter right to the edge.
