Review of Dane Cook: Vicious Circle (2006) by Axel S — 15 Jun 2010

The definitive Dane Cook stand-up and the best way to find out if you either love him to death or hate him immensley. The main thing I want to get out of the way is that as a Cook fan, I still realize that his jokes are half-baked in structure and lousy on paper, but like many others I am impressed by his energy volume and flailing physical involvement he puts into every gag.

Dane Cook is childish fun and is a master of comic physical expression, and is arguably one of the most primitive yet innovative observational comics ive seen yet... and ive seen a quite a few and all of the greats.
