I happened to see Dave Attell on Comedy Central when his first special aired in 1999 and I thought his material and delivery were amongst the best in the realm of comedy. So, it was a pleasant surprise when I saw an ad on that very same channel two years later for a show called "Insomniac." I've got to tell you, this show is fantastic. Not only do you get to follow Attell through some of the weirdest and craziest stuff that goes on late at night in various cities throughout the US (and with the 2003 season, throughout the world), you get to see Dave at perhaps his best. Brief selections from his act are featured at the top of each show, which are always a treat, but Attell actually works best when he's working off the cuff. His spur-of-the-moment comments to the various debauchery his witnesses are priceless and really make this show worth watching time and time again. This program deserves to remain on the air for years to come...and probably will, considering there will never be a shortage of drunken oddballs walking this Earth.
