User Reviews

Late 1980's Stand-up Comedy at its finest

This basically cannot be found anywhere - if you have a copy, consider yourself lucky.

Fred Stoller, the late Drake Sather, Andy Kindler, the late Warren Thomas and Ray Romano are freaking hilarious in this stand-up special.

Stoller's routine (who went on to big success as a comedy writer) had me rolling on the floor.

Andy Kindler's musings about an old hack comic in the Catskills is pure gold: "they canceled the #@&*ing week on me.".

Shame on HBO for not releasing the Young Comedians Specials on DVD.

This is late 1980's stand-up at its finest. Classic, classic stuff.

Please HBO - release this on DVD !!!!
