About 10 years ago Dana Carvey came to Portland OR and I didn't bother going. When I saw 'Critics' Choice' on Comedy Central I kicked myself for not seeing him live. Carvey is one of the most brilliant comedians around today. No exaggeration. He is that good and that funny. His imitation of Jimmy Stewart getting caught with a hooker will bust your gut. Simply the best stand up video since 1981 Bill Cosby; Himself.

Dana Carvey is hilarious in "Critics Choice". This is one of my favorite acts of all time. I wish that HBO would rerun it so everyone can see the full act since Comedy Central shortens it to 30 minutes. I think that everyone can enjoy "Critics Choice" because Dana Carvey is awesome.

I've seen it many times on Comedy Central, and even when I know the jokes are coming, I burst into laughter every time. Some of the material is slightly dated (O.J., Hugh Grant, etc.) but still very funny.

This stand-up act is a beautiful collection of impersonations, social/political satire, musical talent, and 'real life' trials and tribulations. It is woven together with an ease that makes the job look easy and keeps you engaged through every aspect. Dana Carvey is a comedic genius and his work truly shines in this incredibly hard to find HBO special. If you have the opportunity to see Critic's Choice you will not only be left smiling, but a little smarter and with many lasting remarks. I saw this act when it first came out and still find myself quoting Dana on a regular basis. If you love his work on Saturday Night Live, you are guaranteed to fall in love with this act.

This is the funniest I have ever seen Dana Carvey. He is my favorite comic, and I can't get enough of this show. Dana Carvey is my idol in the comic world, and I can truly say this is his best show ever. I watch it every time it is on, and I laugh just as much every time. 8*)
