04/12/2014 A documentary about the rise and fall of Boston stand-up scene. Interesting for a fan of comedy but to others it might be a bit boring. Could have been a bit more deeper look of the times and the people. See more 02/22/2011 A good documentary on the Boston comedy scene of the early 80's. Some really good stories and some funny parts. Gives us a nice glimpse of the personalities and origins of the scene. Wish I could have seen more of the interviews with some of the comics on the special features. See more 04/05/2010 They all started somewhere .. a decent look at where, when, brief touches on the why. The glory days of stand-up before the saturation of cable channels. I wanted more See more 01/11/2010 Fun collection of old video footage of several famous funnymen before they were famous. As a documentary, it's mediocre, though. See more 06/11/2009 I learned a lot and laughed a bit, but over all the flimmaker just seems like the kid who was never really a part of their group and this is his way to get in. See more 06/08/2009 Fairly decent doc if you know nothing about stand up in the Boston area in the 80's, but it might be a little too skewed towards Boston. However, if you're a fan of standup you'll enjoy this, and might be turned on to other comics you've never heard of. See more Read all reviews
