Zach galifianakis look who isnt

As a child, he would put on little performances for his parents in conjunction with his brother and sister. The subject: the Iran Contra affair. While in high school to survive the taunts of some of his redneck classmates, he would create characters. One of which was a effeminate racist, which he would use to bond with some of the black kids in his class. Zach later attended but did not graduate from North Carolina State. He failed his last course by one point. After the death of a best friend, Galifianakis moved to New York City to become an actor.

But he found that acting classes made him laugh at the other students as they over-emoted the dramatic scenes. He decided to try out stand-up on the encouragement from Lisa DeLarios, who was already a beginning comic. While he developed his stand-up act, he did a variety of odd jobs including nanny, house cleaner and busboy for a strip club. The tour focuses on bringing stand-up outside the typical comedy club experience, reaching audiences that more frequent attend music venues.

He was part of both documentaries that have covered the tour - the movie, which covered the west coast swing of the tour, and the six episode Comedy Central TV show, which covered the east coast. Galifianakis still on occassion tours with the Comedians of Comedy, but has been the more floating member, replaced on occasion by comics like Eugene Mirman.

The DVD presents stand-up in a far less polished way both in performance and in direction, an attempt by Galifianakis to make something more representative of the actual live experience. A DVD extra features him making an audience member slap his face hard multiple times.
