Always Amazing (2018)
Amazing movie about an amazingly funny man
I am a long-time fan of Amazing Johnathan. I've seen perform at comedy clubs and in Vegas for 20 years. I was so happy to see John getting the documentary treatment. He deserves it, not just for defying the odds when he was given one year to live, but also for being on of the funniest people ever. This documentary is handled deftly by first-time director comedian Steve Byrne and I'm looking forward to seeing more of his work behind the camera. The last time I saw a documentary featuring a protégé kid from Australia coming to America to work with his hero -- it didn't turn out so well (Leaving Neverland).
Tourgasm (2006)
Tourgasm = Comedians of Comedy - funny
This show is an unfunny ripoff of the hilarious Comedians of Comedy. The comedians (aside from Gary Gulman, who is actually pretty funny) are bland, boring and not funny. Comedians of comedy, a tour featuring Patton Oswalt, Brian Poshen, Maria Bramford and Zach Galefanakis was entirely more funny, more interesting and more entertaining. Even the parts of the show where the comedians weren't on stage doing their acts were funny. On Tourgasm off stage as well as on the comedians are NOT funny. The 'on the bus' antics on CoC were hilarious where as the bus antics on Tourgasm, aside from not being funny were just painful to watch. Poor Unfunny Jay Davis, getting picked on by the Mean and Unfunny Robert Kelly. I know comedians, in general, when offstage aren't always "on" but even when these losers are "on" they are off.
