NO NUDITY. NO VIOLENCE. UNSPEAKABLE OBSCENITY.

"Could be one of the funniest movies you're ever likely to see" - Hotdog

"The out and out funniest movie... fantastically depraved... side-splittingly oscene" - The Times

Vile, disgusting – and hilarious. Take a deep breath...

The Aristocrats captures over 100 of the world’s superstar comics telling the dirtiest, most controversially outrageous joke never told in public!

One of the smash hits of the 2005 Sundance Film Festival, The Aristocrats is a comedy extravaganza featuring comedians such as Billy Connolly, Eddie Izzard, Chris Rock, Eric Idle, Hank Azaria, Robin Williams and Whoopi Goldberg.

Originally used as a mental warm-up for comics, this documentary celebrates the art of improvisation. By inviting some of the biggest comedians in entertainment to reminisce, analyse and deliver their own version of the joke, the outcome of this DVD is a side-splittingly funny look at professional comedy.

The joke starts the same 'A man walks into a talent agent's office and says "have I got an act for you!"

What follows is up to the individual, the premise is to let go, cut loose and see what happens - by using every obscenity imaginable, the joke can take any shape or form.

The Aristocrats is free from constraints, is raunchy and fun with brilliant performances from well-known personalities - not for the faint hearted!
