Product Description

Amazon.ca

Comedian Dave Attell, host of Comedy Central's Insomniac, knows how to turn wanderlust into an unbroken string of all-night partying. In this Best of Insomniac volume, Attel hits no fewer than five major North American cities using the same game plan: Stake out a comedy club, then prowl the streets for girls to chat up, guys to taunt, bars to close, and assorted weird, weird stuff to see, all inexplicably taking place while most of the continent is taking its beauty rest. The garrulous Attell insinuates his way into late-night karate lessons in New York, ice-fishing in Montreal, a geek-heavy sci-fi convention in Chicago, and the usual blur of human revelry on New Orleans's Bourbon Street. If a random encounter turns into a memory, great; if not, we just move on. Highlights include a dog-friendly pub, fishy initiation rites, and capricious nudity. --Tom Keogh

3.0 out of 5 stars Good, but not great July 2 2004
By A Customer
Format:DVD
At least 1/2 of each episode is just Dave at a bar, which isn't really all that entertaining. In each episode, there is one really good piece, an ok piece, and the rest you could see yourself just by stepping into a bar in any city. Rent, don't buy.

3.0 out of 5 stars love the show... Oct 21 2003
Format:DVD
I think Dave Attell is hilarious, and I'm a big fan of the show. This DVD is a little disappointing, however; there is not much here that you couldn't get from watching the episodes on Comedy Central. The episodes are a little bit longer - some extra stand-up routines - but, generally speaking, the episodes have been edited for a good reason. The supplementary material just isn't that good.

4.0 out of 5 stars A good packaging of a great show Sep 8 2003
Format:DVD
I was a little dissappointed by some of the episodes Comedy Central decided to put on this DVD (say Montreal, as an example). Not that any of the episodes were bad, just there were better episodes a long time fan like myself thought were funnier.

As well it might have been better for Comedy Central to just do seasons on a release rather than a handful of episodes. But Comedy Central seems to have no idea how to do releases of their shows on DVD (save The Man Show).

Either way this is a great show and a nice introduction to the drunken late night subject that is Insomniac.

5.0 out of 5 stars An All Out Party that Lasts All Night Long...
After hearing his comedy album only a few days ago, I knew that I would have to check out his show, "Insomniac with Dave Attell." The guy's funny, sarcastic and very entertaining. Read more

5.0 out of 5 stars Dave Attell night-owls and takes you on a tour of cities.
Finally it's here on DVD. You don't have to be an Insomniac anymore to see some of these Insomniac with Dave Attell shows. On this DVD, Dave starts in New Orleans. Read more

2.0 out of 5 stars If you're a huge fan, buy it, otherwise, just watch TV ...
I'm a relatively big fan of the show, I always at least skip through when it's been recorded on the TiVo, even if I've seen the episode before. Read more

5.0 out of 5 stars Ridiculously hilarious
If you watch the show on tv, you'll love the DVD. Unedited Dave Attell is as funny as it can get. It's actually hard to watch it edited on tv now.

I realize that there is nothing much more special about this DVD above and beyond what you have seen on Comedy Central. So what, though!? Read more

2.0 out of 5 stars I love this show, but the DVD is not worth the money
Insomniac is one of my favorite TV shows. I love watching each week as Dave tours city after city in his own twisted alchoholic comedian type persona. Read more
