The idea behind The Comedians of Comedy — its name a play on '' The Original Kings Of Comedy '' and similar tours — involves the comedians performing at smaller Indie Rock venues instead of comedy clubs. Both the movie and TV series alternate between footage of the comedians on stage and other aspects of their lives on the road. The movie ''The Comedians of Comedy'', shot during the fall of 2004 , had its world premiere at the South By Southwest film festival in March 2005. It is one of the first films to be financed by DVD-rental service Netflix , also the film's distributor. The film inspired Comedy Central to commission a six-episode ''Comedians of Comedy'' TV series, this one involving a six-city tour during the summer of 2005; the show premiered in November of that year. The episodes were shot in Maryland , New York City , Philadelphia , Atlantic City , Boston and Martha's Vineyard . The show was notable for providing some publicity for Robert Kirkman 's comic book Invincible , which Oswalt spoke about during the first episode while shopping at a comic book store. Though Comedy Central has dropped the series, the ''Comedians of Comedy'' tour is expected to resume in the near future, possibly with an entirely new set of comedians. EXTERNAL LINKS
