I had to respond to the 1 star review. I have this dvd. Each to their own but how anyone wouldn't find this dvd funny is beyond me - especially John "cappy" Caparulo. It's, basically, showing Vince Vaughan taking 4 up and coming comedians on a 30 day tour across America - interpersed with snippets of the comedians doing their acts. The allusion to I.Q. levels in the other review is shockingly pompous. It really is VERY funny in parts. I wouldn't disparage it in any event, as they were all good enough to donate all the proceeds of one of their shows to people made homeless by hurricane Katrina - and they laid on a bus to take them from the trailer park and free admission to the show (which they made "clean" for that night -no swearing).
Buy this dvd and i don't think you'll be disappointed. It's only 96 mins long, so it won't tax people with high I.Q.'s brains too much.

i hoped for the first 10 minutes i was watching a parody. the second it dawned on me that this was for real i was almost sick. this is without doubt the most hideous comedy/documentary ever produced(neither of those words are appropriate). for all you terrilble film lovers out there dont even think about borrowing it or buying it in that sense. this is so bad i cant believe a copy is available to anyone with an IQ more than 50 as it will simply lower your faith in humanity and will afirm what you didnt want to believe about our friends across the pond. i've never written a review before and am generally a laid back guy, this is that bad.

Traveling Comedic Reality Show
6 Jun 2008
By John J. Petersen
- Published on Amazon.com
Format:DVD
This is a movie documenting Vince Vaughn's Comedy Show as they travel through the heart of America. Vaughn hand-picked 4 relative unknowns from the Comedy Shop in L.A. It plays out as more of a reality show, albeit a very funny show at that. At times the comedians show their inexperience as they let a few unruly fans shake their nerves; behind the scenes Vince will calm their nerves and give advice. As the tour moves on the comedians gain more experience and their confidence grows. Their are numerous entertainers (mostly actors from some of Vaughn's movies) who irregularly travel with the Show. But the focus remains on Vaughn & his 4 comedians.
A funny and entertaining documentary.

uneven material in an affable film
23 Oct 2008
By Roland E. Zwick
- Published on Amazon.com
Format:DVD
In 2005, actor Vince Vaughn gathered together a handful of comedians from The Comedy Store in Hollywood - Ahmed Ahmed, John Caparulo, Bret Ernst and Sebastian Maniscalco - built an extended stand-up show around their acts, then took it on the road for a 30-city-in-30-day whirlwind tour across the United States, starting in Los Angeles and ending in Chicago, with 28 stops in between. Vaughn also brought a few documentary filmmakers along for the ride, the result being "Vince Vaughn's Wild West Comedy Show," an at best fair-to-middling account of that event.
Some of the backstage stuff is of moderate interest - particularly the comics offering a free show to some Hurricane Katrina refugees and Ernst's touching reflections on his older brother who died of AIDS. But one can only hope that we're not being treated to the best of the on-stage material here. For if truth be told, there aren't nearly as many laughs to be gleaned from these performances as one might expect given the caliber of talent involved. At best, the routines elicit a few hearty chuckles, along with a surprising number of humor-deprived dead spots. The behind-the-scenes activities are marginally more entertaining (the interviews with the boys' families are sometimes quite informative and amusing), but the movie doesn't provide nearly the depth of insight into the world of standup comedy that, say, Jerry Seinfeld's "Comedian" did a few years back.
Still the guys in the group are likable enough and their camaraderie ultimately becomes infectious, earning the movie at least a lukewarm recommendation, especially for devotees of the subject.

This movie unfortunately was not marketed correctly, and not really given a chance in the theaters...but take my word for it, it's hilarious! The 4 comics profiled are incredibly talented!
