Laboring Under Delusions

Well worth it if you are a fan of Paul or just standup comedy.

After hearing him on so many Comedy Bang Bang episodes and Stay F. Homekins, I had to watch this. Great storytelling and timeless comedy.

This is so well done. Paul, is in amazing, hilarious form. If you aren't a fan yet, this special will make you one.Tremendous comedy value for the price. The special was longer than I was expecting it to be, in the best way. It's that feeling of being with your funniest friend and you say "I feel like I've been laughing forever."The "Special Features" are hilarious as well and not at all "tacked on". The encore especially is evidence of how naturally funny Paul is.If you are a fan of him from the Pod F. Tompkast, Comedy Bang Bang, Doug Loves Movies, The Best Show on WFMU, then what am I saying? You already know and should have bought this.Is it clear that a Paul F. Tompkins fan wrote this? Good, but you should be too. I don't intend that in a mean way. He's just really great, smart and funny and it would be a shame if you missed out.Sincerest best to you stranger!Also_a_Stranger

If one could reasonably rate best stand-up specials of all time, I honestly think this would be in the top ten. The whole thing is hilarious without any down time. The personal stories are engaging. There is a consistent theme throughout, and the performance has a narrative structure to it. He manages to deliver in a prepared way without being impersonal; he is able to connect with the audience. This is easily my favorite stand-up hour, and I honestly think it might be the best hour of all time.

Paul F. Tompkins is a comedian we first saw on Rifftrax Live: House on Haunted Hill. He was hilarious then and takes it to the next level with his latest DVD (we bought as many of his other items as we could right after viewing it). He is tremendously funny and tells his life and work stories with the skill of a master thespian - weaving them together seamlessly in this video.If you're new to Tompkins, you'll find his facial expressions and comedic timing almost as gut-busting as his words. He runs through the many jobs he has held (our favorite was a tie between the beta video store and the "Hats in the Belfrey" hattier.)If you love snorting milk through your nose because you can't stop laughing, Paul F. Tompkins is for you!!!We can't wait for more, Paul!P.S. You were the REAL STAR of "There Will Be Blood!"

One of the few left who can still make me cry w laughter. This guy. This f'n guy. I know this is a bad review, but if you love Paul F. Tompkins this will delight you. If you've never heard of Paul F. Tompkins, this will delight you. If you hate Paul F. Tompkins, well, I don't think we're probably gonna be friends. Highly recommend. If you're feeling blue and need a laugh, this is good medicine. And hey, if you're failing career-wise (as I was when I watched this), it might give you a whole new perspective, which it did for me.

This is my favorite stand up special ever. Paul's stories are hilarious and the whole thing feels like a real conversation.I used to have it saved on my DVR and went a year or so without watching it before finally realizing I needed to own it.The DVD contains some material not shown on the stand up special on comedy central, so it was nice to get some extra jokes in there.

Adore him and this one has remained funny! Still laugh the same as the first time we saw it!

If you like Paul F. Tompkins you will enjoy this special. His dedicated work and skill of the craft justify a purchase. I haven't even had the chance to watch all of it yet and I'm already glad I got this. Mr. Tompkins is a powerhouse of modern comedy and keeps bringing laughter and smiles to people all around the world so anybody who follows comedy ought to be interested in this and give it a try at least.

I think anything that Paul F Tompkins does is brilliant.He is one of the most versatile entertainers working today.I adore him.
