Live At The Purple Onion 2007 VBR
The first time I saw Zach was like most people. From the movie The Hangover. I knew right away this guy had talent. He reminded me of the "serious" John Belushi in the black comedy "Neibours". I went out and watched most of the stuff he did including a really weird film called "Visioneers" Here is an offbeat performance as a stand-up comedian. The show was recorded at the San Francisco club The Purple Onion in June 2005. In addition to Zach's routine, which features Zach's trademark dry humor, a large portion of which is accompanied by a light piano piece played by Zach as bed music. It ends with Zach tearing off pages of a large pad of paper which contain prewritten, largely self deprecating jokes, while the Pacific Boychoir[1] sings Greatest Love of All. The DVD contains two separate sections which are cut to throughout the routine, often at times where the content of the routine may have to do with the content of the other portions. One of the sections is an unscripted roadtrip to The Purple Onion in a Volkswagen bus with Zach and his friend Joe Wagner. The banter and happenings that occur seem to provide insights to where Zach gets some of his comedy. The bus ends up breaking down just short of their goal so they finish the trip in a GoCar, a small rental vehicle meant for tourists. The roadtrip portrays Zach as a fun-loving guy, different than his stage persona. The second section is a loosely scripted interview of Zach's brother "Seth Galifianakis" (played by Zach) by Brian Unger. The DVD was released March 6, 2007.
