Holy Christ. If only every comedy album was this honest.
This is as close to a live show as you are going to get, this album has it all. The riffing, the fuck ups, the hecklers, the audience interaction; THIS is stand-up comedy.
222 is actually the unedited version of his first comedy album "Feeling kinda Patton" and trust me, a LOT was edited.
As the night continues, Patton becomes more and more drunk and the laughs keep on coming. In this epic 2 and a quarter HOUR SET Patton exhausts literally ALL his material, to the point that fans simply begin shouting out requests for old bits that Patton had actually forgotten about.
It's ironic that now the "alternative" comics are the mainstream and the Jay Leno "traditional" comics are, not a dying breed but not as prominent. I'm sure this is largely in part with their connections with the Williams Street guys, "new comedy" film makers such as Judd Apatow, and in no small part, the recorded comedy album route.
Patton never sold out, he just hit it big. This album will tell you why.
