Ahoy, squirts! Quint here. After nearly dislodging a rib from laughing so hard at this film when it premiered at Sundance I was really hoping it'd usher in a new wave of theatrical comedy concert films. I think it's a real untapped market and a blown opportunity. I love watching movies at home, but watching a comedy concert with an audience makes all the difference in the world. Laughter is infectious. Eddie Murphy, Richard Pryor and Bill Cosby all had fantastic concert films and then it kind of died out, giving us only those redneck comedy tours in the theaters. And they don't count because I'm talking about comedy concerts, which requires the material to actually be funny. So, while my dreams of Louis CK's HILARIOUS reaching 2000 screens weren't realized, they are doing a special one night only theatrical screening September 8th in eight American cities. Those cities are Austin, Boston, Chicago, LA, New York, Philadelphia, San Francisco and Washington DC. EW has the full line-up with ticket info. If you're not in one of those cities, sucks, but at least you can catch it if you have cable. Epix is running the concert film on the 18th. PS I talked to the man himself about this flick way back in January. Check out the interview by clicking here if you missed it first time around! -Quint quint@aintitcool.com Follow Me On Twitter
