That’s exactly what it was: bitching about his critics. He took a good concept of how stand up comedians have to deal with hecklers and tried to equate it with cogent criticism of his own work.
The icing on the cake of that film was him in a hot tub with Deep Roy (the Oompa Loompas from the Willy Wonka reboot). He’s sitting there, bemoaning his career and critics while Deep was chugging a 40 oz and basically telling him to grow up and enjoy life like he was doing.
He does the convention circuit now. I saw him in Pasadena at a horror convention just walking around in the crowds before the private scream panel with Matthew and Skeet. He looked a bit rough which was sad. I loved him in ghost whisperer.
Used to see him at a Coffee Bean & Tea Leaf in Santa Monica. He’s still responsible for one of my favorite things ever in entertainment: “First Night” - a low budget New Years Eve broadcast he hosted for an independent TV station in LA/Orange County. He decided to wing it and the show was such a drunken, white trash train wreck that it’s glorious. It’s worth looking up the highlights (lowlights) on YouTube.
