California Roll

About This Movie

California Roll is a neat snapshot of mid-90s stand-up, which captures a certain vibe of that era. Shot at the Maplewood Community Center, it features a lineup of unique voices—guys like Mitch Hedberg and Doug Stanhope are present, each bringing their distinct brand of humor. The pacing is loose and organic, reflecting the live comedy scene. You get a sense of the atmosphere, almost like you're part of that audience, sharing laughs with friends. The performances vary; some bits hit harder than others, but that unpredictability adds to its charm. It's more about the experience than polished routines, an interesting time capsule of comedic styles before the internet reshaped how we consume comedy.
