"Did you know that 98% of America has not found your CD funny? Well, add me to that America! I now feel ashamed that adding your CD to my order resulted in my shipping savings being labelled as "super". Eugene, Eugene--wherefore art the fart jokes? Surely you jest that you can call yourself "comedian" and yet seem to have not mastered this fundamental of the comic arts. It is rather like a "magician" who can't live in a suspended box. Let me give you a basic lesson in comedy: make fun of people different than me! Until then I will be filing this CD under "A" for "Absurd, yes--funny, NO!!!!"."

Very underrated genius

"I am a comedy snob who is completely underwhelmed by most of the stand-up fare available to the masses. Mr. Mirman is one of those rare comics who sounds as if his perspective is entirely unshaped by anyone else in the comedy world. He's a Russian immigrant (even though he has no accent), which provides him a distinctly different eye for Americana that your typical Dane Cook-ian hacks could never attain. All those who rate this cd less than 5 stars will one day bow to Eugene."

Not Mirman's Best, But Still a Good Listen

"The subject matter jumps around a lot and there are some jokes that fall flat. Even Eugene acknowledges it at times. If you're already familiar with Eugene's style, pick it up. If you're trying something new, go get God Is a Twelve Year Old Boy With Aspergers (Dig) for a better introduction to the comedian's better work."
