	Movies - Comedians of Comedy

The Comedians of Comedy is an occasional stand-up comedy tour featuring Patton Oswalt, Zach Galifianakis, Brian Posehn and Maria Bamford that was documented in a 2005 film and 2005 Comedy Central television series of the same name, both directed by Michael Blieden.

The idea behind The Comedians of Comedy — its name a play on The Original Kings of Comedy
and similar tours — involves the comedians performing at smaller indie rock venues instead of comedy clubs. Both the movie and TV series alternate between footage of the comedians on stage and other aspects of their lives on the road.

The movie The Comedians of Comedy, shot during the fall of 2004, had its world premiere at the South by Southwest film festival in March 2005. It is one of the first films to be financed by DVD-rental service Netflix, also the film's distributor.

The film inspired Comedy Central to commission a six-episode Comedians of Comedy TV series, this one involving a six-city tour during the summer of 2005; the show premiered in November of that year. The episodes were shot in Maryland, New York City, Philadelphia, Atlantic City, Boston and Martha's Vineyard.

Though Comedy Central has dropped the series, the Comedians of Comedy tour is expected to resume in the near future, possibly with an entirely new set of comedians.
