<div>I checked out a book from the library called Comedy Central's Guide to Comedy. It's a little dated (1997), but its TV and Movie reccomendations are on the mark. It's even got a pic of Dave Attell with hair! (I think he looks much better now- fits him better, I guess.) <br/>The book's out of print, but if you can aquire it used or from your library, read it. Some parts are dumb, but it's a quick read. </div> <div> posted in <a href="http://daveattellistheman.tribe.net">Comics and Comedy</a> - 0 replies </div>

<div>Gary Gulman is not funny. Ant really wasn't either, but he was much better in the long run. The show is rigged... all those shows ("reality" as they call them) are rigged. </div> <div> posted in <a href="http://daveattellistheman.tribe.net">Comics and Comedy</a> - 2 replies </div>
