The premise to the Unbookables sounds promising - take a few dark, neurotic, blue material comedians and stuff them into a van and a series of small condos and hotels and funny stuff is likely to happen. However, in the case of this bunch, the chemistry wasn't there for organically humorous developments to unfold. In an attempt to remedy this, the show included dozens of staged conflicts and scenarios that fell flat.
The on-stage footage included a rare funny story line or joke but the majority of the material was dull and akin to an open mic performer bombing. And the footage wasn't so bad that it was good.
Although the film includes Doug's name, he only makes a few short appearances. While these comics share his style (more Andy Andrist than the others), they are not nearly as funny as Doug, even on a bad day.
