I loved this/ Will the DVD have extras?

I was lucky enough to see this in San Francisco. It was amazing -- I had no idea CNR had so much more going on than Match Game (I forgive myself, I was, like, 9 years old or something when that was on).

Anyway, I highly recommend this to anyone who's interested in acting stories, or one-man shows, or Reilly himself. It's like Swimming to Cambodia without an ounce of taking itself too seriously.

But I note the film is 84 minutes and the stage show is said to be about 3 hours. Will the DVD have the remaining material (the 1960s and 1970s stuff)?

You know it, BillyBitzer! It was tough to cut some of this stuff out. Not sure how we are goning to do it all yet, as CNR seldom does the same show twice, so the show if the film is what we have covered properly. However, there are too many priceless bits to not get the out there somehow. We are toying with putting out some video footage of the show from 2001 where you can see the raw performanced un-tampered with by us film folks. Look for it in the spring or late winter.

Thanks Barry.

I'm glad you took on this project. So lifelong fans can get the chance to experience him without his well loved wigs. :)

No two persons ever watch the same movie.

I just borrowed this DVD set from my library - and don't want to return it! HA HA HA...

This has got to be one of the funniest shows I have ever had the pleasure of watching on DVD ("Elaine Stritch At Liberty" now comes a close second). How I would have loved to have seen this show in person.

If you have not seen this yet - you must! You will laugh until you cry...
