Giveaway (for Grownups): Eugene Mirman – An Evening of Comedy in a Fake Underground Laboratory on DVD!

Eugene Mirman: An Evening of Comedy in a Fake Underground Laboratory

Eugene Mirman brings his satirical observational style and some visual aids to a new uncensored and extended CD/DVD combo package, “Eugene Mirman: An Evening of Comedy in a Fake Underground Laboratory,” out now on COMEDY CENTRAL Records. The CD/DVD combo also includes the “Eugene!” pilot highlight reel bonus feature.

Mirman is a wizard at finding humor in what ordinary people find mundane, and in his first one-hour special, filmed at the historic Fillmore in San Francisco, Mirman treats the audience to a hilarious grownup game of show and tell. Prepared with print-outs, cocktail napkins, and his childhood notebook, he explains a unique way to keep your daughter safe, what happens when a cable company repeatedly screws him over, and how to make ten Saudi Arabian men give you $40 each. Theremin enthusiasts will be excited to know that Mirman stole Jimmy Page’s instrument and uses it in this special.

Mirman currently does the voice of “Gene” on Fox’s newest hit animated series “Bob’s Burgers.” In the streets he’s sometimes recognized as Eugene, the landlord, from “Flight of the Conchords,” or from his role as comedian/mobster Yvgeny Mirminsky on Adult Swim’s “Delocated.” On “Aqua Teen Hunger Force” he’s Dr. Eugene Mirman and on “Home Movies” he was Eugene, the Russian foreign exchange student. He also has been featured on “COMEDY CENTRAL Presents.”
