Bootleg Comedy
Donnell Rawlings is hitting the New York city streets and breaking down what real life is like for a stand up comic. The break out star of The Chapelle Show is taking you behind the scenes to see the Bootleg, the real comedy, the grind and the workout that a comedian does to prepare for a performance. This DVD is full of sketch comedy, live stand up, interactive media, rap parodies and music videos, all showing what makes a comic tick. This ride along with Donnell shows how even a trip to the grocery store can be inspiration for a joke or a character. If it’s too good to be true, it’s gotta be bootleg.
For even more Donnell, don’t miss his return to the Emmy Award winning show, “The Wire,” later this month on HBO.
