Zach Galifianakis only came to my attention as the brattish, uncouth personality in the Hangover films and variation of that character in other comedies. He is in some ways seen by film studios as the new John Candy or worse still the male version of Melissa McCarthy.
This Comedy Central special from 2001 features the stand up version of a younger Zach, also a sitting with the piano version of Zach has he goes through his dry sense of humour.
It is very laid back, a nice sense of timing although a lot of it is not laugh out loud funny. The Comedy Central audience though are in hysterics, rather unsure if they are paid by the guffaws!
Its a nice touch to get ex his twelve ex-girlfriends to come on as an a Capella group. What this short special does show that Zach the comedian is a different personality to his recent screen persona and I hope this can eventually be translated on screen as he is heading for the latter part of his 40s and he does not want to keep on playing loud and obnoxious personalities.
