Comedian Summary Jerry Seinfeld Is A Working Stand-up Comic Again. Comedian Is A Candidly Revealing, Intimately Observed, And Often Very Funny Look At What It Takes To Be A Comedian. On-stage, Jerry Delivers His Hilarious Brand Of Observational Humor. Off-stage, He Struggles With Difficult Material, Confronts Self-doubt, Revels In Small Successes, And Accepts Help And Support From Friends And Colleagues, Including Colin Quinn, Ray Romano, Chris Rock, Garry Shandling, Jay Leno, And Bill Cosby. Comedian Also Discovers The Sharp Wit Of Rising Young Comic Orny Adams -- Outspoken, Insecure, And Fanatical About Becoming The "next Big Thing." What Emerge Are Two Fascinating Journeys By Two Contrasting Personalities Who Have Some Surprising Parallels.

If you see Comedian expecting a concert film with Jerry Seinfeld, you'll be disappointed. But if you're looking for an incisive--almost surgical--examination of the psyche of a stand-up comedian, this is your movie. Comedian zigzags back and forth between the hugely successful Seinfeld, who's trying to get back to his stand-up roots by developing an entirely new act, and an unknown comic named Orny Adams, whose naked craving for success is almost painful to behold. Adams lays bare his ego to an embarrassing degree; Seinfeld is more subtle but just as revealing about the fears and anxieties that drive him to go back on stage. By following these two through comedy clubs, festivals, and spots on David Letterman's talk show, the documentary cunningly explores how jokes are put together, the in-the-trenches camaraderie (tinged with competition) of stand-ups, and the sheer existential terror of trying to make people laugh. --Bret Fetzer
