Summary: So So
Review: A pale venture into "Taxicab Confessions" territory - a kind of demimonde escapade that never gets going.It's dragged down by the need for a punch line or a gag and the result is that the viewer is left without that vicarious thrill of checking into the dark side with a trusted guide. Too much of the comedy central attitude and not enough of the HBO cutting edge.

Summary: An All Out Party that Lasts All Night Long...
Review: After hearing his comedy album only a few days ago, I knew that I would have to check out his show, "Insomniac with Dave Attell." The guy's funny, sarcastic and very entertaining. So I knew the show would be good. After seeing an episode of the new season, I decided to get the DVD "The Best of Insomniac with Dave Attell: Volume 1." The show goes to show you that the fun and hijinx of comedy doesn't end when the act or set is over.Dave Attell is the host and takes you on a journey full of booze, women, interesting people and wild parties. As soon as his comedy act is over, that's when he takes you for a ride you won't forget. And what's great is that this is an uncensored look, meaning that the language and other shenanigans that could never air on Comedy Central without being bleeped or blurred is here. Get ready to enjoy the nightlife as you cruise around with Dave in the cities of Chicago, Houston, New Orleans, New York and Montreal. The show is very original and unique. It doesn't fail to entertain for a second. It's 107 minutes long, giving you tons of material to watch. Although it would've been nice to have the complete season of the show, this is still a nice thing to have. And you know there will be a Volume 2 coming out in the near future. "The Best of Insomniac with Dave Attell: Volume 1" is more than enjoyable. It's funny, edgy, entertaining and memorable. If you've seen the show on Comedy Central or love Dave Attell, then check out this DVD as soon as you can. I can hardly wait for a Volume 2 and I would love it if a complete season would be released on DVD. Still, this DVD is not too shabby.

Summary: Good, but not great
Review: At least 1/2 of each episode is just Dave at a bar, which isn't really all that entertaining. In each episode, there is one really good piece, an ok piece, and the rest you could see yourself just by stepping into a bar in any city. Rent, don't buy.

Review: Dave Attell is the best thing that's ever happened to Cable Television. If you haven't been watching Insomniac with Dave Attell, now is your chance to catch up on what you've been missing. The uncensored version does not diminish the original content of the Cable-TV edited program, since Insomniac is not really about gratuitous nudity and language. Yet, there was so much more we would have liked to see on the DVD. What about behind the scenes footage? Clips which never made it into the show? Even a ten minute mini-documentary would have been wonderful. Maybe in the next one?

Summary: Dave Attell night-owls and takes you on a tour of cities.
Review: Finally it's here on DVD. You don't have to be an Insomniac anymore to see some of these Insomniac with Dave Attell shows. On this DVD, Dave starts in New Orleans. A little stand-up routine in a club that will get you laughing. Then he takes you on a late night, all-night tour of what's happening in New Orleans while most normal people sleep. This is the standard for all Insomniac episodes. Dave visits a bar and drinks. Maybe two bars or three. Talks with people on the street. Some get crazy (females and males) to expose themselves for the camera. All nudity and language is shown on this DVD, that was originally edited and blurred on Comedy Central cable network. What is edited on this DVD is beer cans and telephone numbers. No advertising beer names. But we all know what Dave is drinking don't we? Dave is alot of fun and he is funny too. He will take you to many other cool places from 10:00pm until 7:00am. It's educational too. Adults Only! This DVD includes only five episodes. Dave visits New Orleans, Louisiana. Houston, Texas. Chicago, Illinois. Montreal, Canada. New York City, New York (last episode of first season). The New Orleans, Houston and New York episodes are from the first season in 2001. The Chicago and Montreal episodes are from the second season in 2002. For mature adults only.

Summary: Okay, people...
Review: I realize that there is nothing much more special about this DVD above and beyond what you have seen on Comedy Central. So what, though!? First, this DVD is relatively cheap, so don't expect many extras (though it would be nice to see at some point). Second, while the choices for this DVD weren't the best, Dave Attel is still hilarious in every city he visits and makes up for the fact that the espisodes chosen weren't the absolute "best of" (a subjective point of course). Quit griping, get this disc, and laugh your butt off.

Summary: love the show...
Review: I think Dave Attell is hilarious, and I'm a big fan of the show. This DVD is a little disappointing, however; there is not much here that you couldn't get from watching the episodes on Comedy Central. The episodes are a little bit longer - some extra stand-up routines - but, generally speaking, the episodes have been edited for a good reason. The supplementary material just isn't that good.

Review: I was a little dissappointed by some of the episodes Comedy Central decided to put on this DVD (say Montreal, as an example). Not that any of the episodes were bad, just there were better episodes a long time fan like myself thought were funnier. As well it might have been better for Comedy Central to just do seasons on a release rather than a handful of episodes. But Comedy Central seems to have no idea how to do releases of their shows on DVD (save The Man Show). Either way this is a great show and a nice introduction to the drunken late night subject that is Insomniac.
