Review of Comedian

Comedian (2002)
7/10
Dying is Easy! Comedy is Hard!
10 March 2013
Jerry Seinfeld is the major headliner here after leaving his hit comedy series, Seinfeld, after 9 seasons on the air. He returns to the stage to be a stand up comic. This documentary uncovers the lives of stand up comedians like Jerry Seinfeld and Jay Leno who doesn't touch his Tonight Show salary. Leno would rather be a comic than be rich in reality. He works a 150 shows and the Tonight Show as well. Chris Rock is surprising when he reveals his admiration for Bill Cosby's live show of 2 hours and 20 minutes on stage without intermission. We find Orny Adams to be a little arrogant but an up and coming comic. Jerry Seinfeld has returned home to the stage of stand up comedy where you spend nights at the comedy clubs in New York City, Los Angeles, and even West Orange, New Jersey. Stand up comics spend every moment trying to perfect the craft of delivering the jokes, telling stories, and delivering the punchlines all for laughs from the audience.
