Saw a preview of a new feature film to be released Feb. 8th. Surprisingly good.

In this documentary, the show’s emcee, Vince Vaughn, and four stand-up comedians hand-picked by Vaughn, travel the country and perform in 30 cities. This film documents the interactions on and off stage along the way.

… In the spirit of the old west variety shows, Vaughn played host to the ensemble of comedians and performed improvisational sketches with surprise celebrity and musical guests.

… a rare opportunity to experience Vaughn and his team as bring their unique styles and perspectives to regional audiences throughout Western, Southern and Midwestern states. Through rousing on-stage performances and behind-the-scenes interviews, the engaging grass roots documentary breaks down the true essence of each comedian’s life altering experiences and the personal and professional challenges that will unite four comics, one movie star and legions of fans from Hollywood to the Heartland.

The highlight for me were clips of two comedians:

John Caparulo

Bret Ernst

In fact, Bret was at the preview showing in San Francisco. He answered questions from the very appreciative audience after the screening.

Normally I am no great fan of stand-up comedy. But this is pretty good.

Disclaimer: Vince Vaughn conceived and funded this project, filling it with his personal friends. But there is not much Vince in the movie.
