Comedy DVD: Dane Cook – Vicious Circle (2006)

Love it.
I saw Dane Cook at a friend’s house while dog-sitting and absolutely loved it. I had to buy it, so I bought it for my boyfriend for Christmas. We both watch it all the time.

Dane at his best!
I have watched all of Dane’s other comedy routines, and this is by far his best one. This DVD has several deleted scenes, which are worth the purchase price alone.
