In twenty-four days, we're doing the last ever Comedians of Comedy show.

It's been a fun, four-year run. A feature film, two concert movies, a TV show, a set at Coachella -- not bad.

Things have greater value when they have an ending. And the whole reason for doing the tour in the first place was to give all of us wider exposure. And it worked. Zach and Maria are blowing up and busy. And Brian and I can barely keep our Stork 'n' Stumpy's Plum Fritters on the shelf. It's unfair, now that all of us have benefited from the tour, to herd everyone back into a cramped van three or four times a year. The scheduling hassles are becoming un-workable. And we don't ever want this to become a chore.

So we're doing our farewell show Saturday, July 26th. That's twenty four days from when this is being written. We're doing in in San Diego, at the Spreckels Theatre, where we figure the most number of our fans will be gathered within the same zip code. And there's going to be some monumental special guests on the show.

We've been touched and inspired by all the support, and especially the hassle so many of you have gone through to travel and see us. Since there were so many cities we DIDN'T get to visit, this is chance to see the biggest number of people who've MySpaced us through the years.

And who knows? There might be sporadic get-togethers in the coming years. Patton's curating the comedy at this year's All Tomorrow's Parties in upstate New York. And Coachella eventually wants us back. But those'll be special occasions.

And none of us, individually, will ever stop touring. And you can bet each of us will have openers, young comedians we like and want to give more exposure to. So think of this as the Comedians of Comedy tour splitting into four pieces, still wandering the countryside, just not as cramped when driving.

Plus, there's probably four as-yet-unknown young comedians out there, figuring out a way to do their own tour. This kind of stuff never ends. Who wants to discover everything cool all at once? It'll keep coming. Stay alert.

Goodbye, everyone.
thats so ang

I shall miss this tour. It never came to Hawaii, but that movie, those tv episodes (which you should put on itunes), and those DVDs, were the best thing to happen to standup in years.


Thank you.

The CoC is dead, Long Live the CoC!

sorry to hear this, guys (and gal), but that's the consequence of fame. It happened to the Beatles and the Fantastic Four (altho they always managed to come together again in the end).


I just have to know: WHO did those minimates? the rest of your pics have credits, why not this one?
was it Iron Cow? cuz that would be the ironic thing to do, having the 7+ foot customizer create that set! (and Matty, Z needs more BEARD!)

take care, everyone, and PLEASE don't be afraid of that 630 foot silver elliptic on the shores of the Big Muddy! We have chocolate Ravioli and Strassenfest!

God damnit. I never got to see you guys live, and there's no way in hell I can afford to go to the last show.


Boo.

NOOOOO! Come back! Patton, I still had another book to give you!

Ah, well. I'm now doubly glad I made it to D.C. last October anyway. Best show of any kind I have ever seen in my life. If there is a God, you will all become obscenely wealthy.

It was awesome to see you guys both times in Louisville! I'm glad things are working out for everyone, even if that adversely means the death of Comedians of Comedy.

For those of us who can't make it, any plans on filming it for posterity? Please?
Thanx for the laughs!

REALLY sorry to hear this, but tough to argue with your logic. Thanks for all the great laughs & all the cool comedians you've turned me on to. Seeing your 3-hour show in NYC last October made a crappy day into a good one, and I'll always remember it.
Long live CoC!!!

Man, first Invite Them Up, now CoC... why is all my cool comedy stuff ending this year?!?

I'll be in San Diego for Comic Con that weekend so I just bought tickets to see you guys, too! It's sad to hear this will be the last show! I've enjoyed watching the documentaries.
Thanks for the laughs!

Well at least I got to see COC last year for my birthday. Even though Zach wasn't there it was one of the best comedy shows I have ever seen. Brian made me laugh so hard I couldn't breathe.

But I hope you guys do at least one more show in the future in NYC.

Pittsburgh was a great show. Even though the "little guy" wasn't there. Would go see any "single" show that any of you can make back to the small 3 river city.

I'm sad that it's ending, but as you say, it's good to leave 'em wanting more. You were epic, and the best comedy ages.


Love, love, love.

I'ma miss you gay pride parade! err, I mean, Comedians of Comedy!

Glad to have seen you as a group (minus Zach) at Detour Festival. I'll see you in San Diego! I'll be dressed as a zombie that day at Comic-Con but will try to clean the deadness off of me for the show.

From all of us in Chicago, specifically Logan Square Auditorium, thank you for putting on a comedy show that had no right to be that cheap and unbelievably funny. Come back anytime, just make sure it's not the Vic theatre please.

Respect.
