i've read a lot of his books, seen a bunch of his live dvds, seen him live a few times, watched his show on IFC and the specials he did for them, but for some reason i've barely listened to any of his spoken word cds. like maybe 1 or 2 besides this one. i don't know why, dude consistently makes me laugh and think and i keep buying his cds. whatever. i guess this project is the perfect time to get to some of that shit. so yeah, this was recorded back in '99 when he was doing a 9 week run at Luna Park in LA. it's not a full show but more like a highlight reel from his time there. material was also used for the Live at Luna Park dvd, like pretty much exactly what was on this disc. kind of a drag, but even though i recognized most of the stuff from the dvd it was still pretty funny. probably helps that i haven't watched the dvd in about 5 years. and besides a few topical bits (the Clinton scandal, Columbine) it's aged well.
