Coming Out Party (2003) Reviews

Member Rating:

Seven gay and lesbian standup comics share their memories of coming out of the closet to family, friends, and co-workers in this performance video. Coming Out Party features performances from Terry Sweeney (Saturday Night Live, Mad TV), Bob Smith (the first openly gay comic to appear on The Tonight Show), John Riggi (The Larry Sanders Show), Dan Renzi (The Real World: Miami), Jackie Beat (US magazine), Rene Hicks (Full Frontal Comedy), and Sabrina Matthews (Comedy Central Presents...Sabrina Matthews) as they share both the funny and bittersweet sides of this difficult, but liberating, experience. ~ Mark Deming, Rovi

The effort was really apparent, but all in all this was a really dissapointing film. I only found one of the comedians comical enough to watch the entire act, other then that, I turned it off and am dropping it back in the mail tomorrow. Not at all what I was expecting.

While I appreciate the effort made by this film i didn't enjoy this as much as i thought i would. Most of the comedians where funny but they were somewhat limited by the subject matter. I also found it a little to preachy with only half of their segment really comedy and the other half just preach preach preach. I think this could have been better if it wasn't only about coming out.

I'm no stand up comedian but, wow this was unfunny. The only one even mildly entertaining was Jackie Beat and her set seemed limited by the subject of "coming out". Skip this and find something else for your queue.
