    Not as good as Platypus Man, but still good.

    This one is very funny. The part about the men and women satisfaction scale is hilarious, as is the church joke. Jeni is one of the best comedians I've ever heard. You should watch this if you want to lose your breath every 30 seconds.

    What a riot!

    I don't think I've ever laughed harder and longer at one show. Jeni has always been near the top of the line...this one puts him over. I watched him a few years back do a routine about watching all the Jaws movies while on the road. Even his hosting job on The Improv has been great to watch. This guy has you gasping for air through your laughs. This time, his skit about Hugh Grant had me rolling. As did his late-night TV routine. And the man-woman relationships bit is a classic. And he still saves some of his best for last. If there's a funnier hour on the tube, I've yet to see it. This is a must see for all stand-up fans!
