Mr.BC Locals Bar hopping around the United states and his global tour would take you into the night life of bar hopping and drinking but would also dive right into late night jobs such as waste management, Radio DJ's, PEst control and oh yes Fetish clubs...Everyone was real and no staged actors needed!With his camera man Brian, Dave Attell would lead you on a drunken ride with only the sunrise to let you know it was time for the show and the night to come to an end.Dave Attell is one of the funniest raunchy, clever and improv comedians of our time. It was such a amazing show to watch when I was in high school and is still one of the best reality TV show to date.

kingklassy 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.

gregorynj "Insomniac" never fails to make me laugh out loud!Much of the humor of "Insomniac" comes from the unintended absurdity of the situations that Dave Attell encounters during his nocturnal adventures: big hairy men in blue jeans and leather harnesses whipping each other with a cat o'nine tails in a Boise gay bar; a group of women celebrating a batchelorette party walking down the street with a 6-foot tall inflatable penis; the sometimes incoherent, often nonsensical ramblings of the various street people he meets, etc. "Insomniac" gives credence to the phrase that "you just can't make this stuff up", and this show is proof that reality is often funnier - much funnier - than fiction.Dave always keeps things moving for the viewer with his great wisecracks and observations. I love the time he was at the Bunnyland Ranch in Nevada - a legal brothel. The house "madam" was giving Dave a tour of the place, including all the "role-playing" rooms (ex., one with a giant crib for people into that sort of thing), when they walk by the business office. Dave says something like, "Is this a real office or part of someone's fantasy" - funny because after seeing the role-playing rooms, now it's plausible that customers could come to live out an office-based sexual fantasy, and Dave's comment articulates the humor of this "anything goes" environment. Dave's follow-up comment: "Could I have sex on the fax machine?" Hostess: "We can arrange just about anything for you"."Insomniac" is definitely in-the-moment humor that you have to watch firsthand to appreciate. Many of the situations are sexually suggestive...or just downright sexually explicit (images of taboo body parts are screened out)...but this isn't exploitation, because it's all just part of the everyday (everynight?) human behavior that Dave brings us to see. But don't get the wrong idea - "Insomniac" is not just a survey of sexual fetishes. Dave also introduces us to the people who work through the night to keep the world running: sewage plant workers, coal miners, police officers, firemen, among others. While cracking jokes about the jobs these folks have to do and the environments they work in, Dave also helps us appreciate just what these people actually do for a living, often toiling away in anonymity while the rest of us sleep. In that sense, "Insomniac" is more of an urban athropology study (with sarcastic commentary) than a comedy show.There's a reason this show is on late at nite, but if you're not uptight and can appreciate the humor in the absurdity of human behavior, you won't be disappointed!

culwin Dave, our tour guide, takes us to various locales and investigates the night life there. This involves things like bars, security guards, and just people on the street at night. It's better than most late night TV and a lot safer! Dave is the perfect host because he is the type of guy who can fit in with just about any crowd. Hopefully Comedy Central keeps this around for awhile... it's better than infomercials!!
