REVIEWS from AMAZON:

“American Smartass” is stand-up comedy at it’s rawest. This is 3 guys doing comedy in the trenches. No comedy clubs with bouncers to pull the hecklers, no “Comedy Central Presents” with a coached crowd and edited, punched-up laugh tracks over hackey jokes. Rob, Josh, and Jer-Dog take you through a series of dive bars where most of the crowd is wasted, half the ceiling tiles are missing, and the whole place is lit by neon beer signs. ”

“Although plenty of hecklers are destroyed and insulted, you never get the sense that these guys are “above” the crowd. They have respect for a room full of hard-working hard drinkers and they genuinely enjoy being able to bring a couple hours of laughs to a town of a couple hundred people.
Awesome movie! ”

“Every comic’s been heckled sometime. It’s how comics react to that heckle which proves what they can really do on a stage, or lack there of.  Jerdog, Josh Alton, and Rob Rivera shine on this fantastic look at doing small town comedy road shows. There are lots of great drunken moments, stupid moments, and downright funny moments in this short little doc that provides an insight into the traveling lives of a few working comics.

I highly recommend this to comics, want-to-be comics, and pure fans of comedy. There’s a lot to like from these guys on and off stage! ”

“This is a very funny and even educational guerilla style documentary. As a traveling comedian with over 4 years experience, I highly recommend this to anyone trying to get into the business. This is a raw and gritty look at what goes on in the trenches of the stand-up comedy world. Educational adpects aside, it is an entertaining film that has a good flow to it. If you like laughing at the human comedy that is life, check out this movie! ”
