The best stand-up comedy I have ever seen, 3 July 2001
10/10
Author: blackcircles (blackcircles@beer.com) from Toronto, Canada

I haven't seen this since it first aired. Jim Carrey was still the white guy from In Living Color, and I thought he was funny so I tuned in. It turned out that In Living Color only allowed a small glimpse into his talent. I have never laughed harder at a stand-up comedy routine before or since. Whenever I find myself frustrated with a Jim Carrey movie, I only have to think back to this TV special to remind myself of the wealth of his talent. I only wish this was available on video.

SUPER FUNNY!, 10 July 2002
Author: Shagger from USA

This is indeed one of the funnniest stand up routines evah! I laughed so hard my face and stomach hurt! He does all kind of physical humor and some good impersonations as well. Jim is VERY funny and really let's his goofy personality come on out. Let's hear it for the "Jim Dancers"!!!

Simply Amazing, 10 December 2001
10/10
Author: jerschwab (jerschwab@hotmail.com) from Vancouver, BC

My friend had a perfectly edited taping of this... we ended up watching it about 50 times. Now recently, his girlfriend taped Full House over top of it and I just about died. Hopefully one day, this will show up somewhere... but in the meantime if anyone has it and can make an extra copy let me know. THIS IS THE BEST STAND UP I HAVE EVER SEEN. Just love it.

Simply the funniest stand-up act ever!, 18 February 2009

I was able to find it on Youtube:

I remember watching this as a teen in Vancouver, and my friends and I watched it over and over, to the point where we memorized LARGE portions to make each other laugh.

I have quoted this over and over, and I felt like a Jim Carrey fan when everyone else knew him as "the white guy on In Living Color".

I only wish the above Youtube movies had the commercial break moments which were equally as funny.

Yes, this IS an incredible stand-up comedy act!!!!!, 13 October 2007
10/10
Author: msorge from Port Colborne, Ontario, Canada

I'm not exaggerating when I say this is the funniest and most genius stand-up comedy act I have ever seen!!! Jim Carrey does it all! From funny jokes, hilarious faces and voices, physical gags, great impersonations, etc., Jim can do no wrong here!

He touches on many great topics, such as: relationships, sex, parents, old age, religion, music, human impulses, etc. in a completely harmless and non-offending way, while making everyone in the audience laugh hysterically. There are even little 15-second skits (in between commercial breaks) for kicks... not to mention, a little outro in the show (which contains a little animated section)!

What's funny to me is that he seems more funny and witty here than he ever did in his future films! What he pulls off in this show seems more intimate and pure... something the usual fan hasn't quite seen from him to this extent.

I am VERY fortunate to not only have seen this when it came out (on Global here in Canada) back when I was only 9-years-old, but to luckily still own a VHS taping of it still! (Back when this came out, I used to tell people at school about him, and no one would even knew who the heck he was!)

Overall, I would honestly give this an A+ grade. This is a true gem that would eventually become what was (and what is) Jim Carrey.

{NOTE: For those of you interested in this, please refer to the message board thread I will be posting!}

Thanks a lot, Mike Sorge (a very long-time Canadian fan)
