If you are unfamiliar with The Comedians of Comedy, it is an occasional stand-up comedy tour featuring Patton Oswalt, Zach Galifianakis, Brian Posehn and Maria Bamford that was documented in a 2005 film and 2005 Comedy Central television series of the same name, both directed by Michael Blieden. Recently, Zach Galifianakis left the tour and has been replaced by comedian Eugene Mirman.

If you never got a chance, like me, to catch any of the shows in person, I highly recommend you rent the movie, or catch the Comedy Central TV series about the tour. Four solid comedians delivering solid jokes, consistently. Doesn’t sound too revolutionary, but it was.

But after several years, and the comic’s increasingly busy schedules, they are calling it quits, for now.

They made the announcement on their MySpace page. The following are some excerpts:

“In twenty-four days, we’re doing the last ever Comedians of Comedy show.

It’s been a fun, four-year run. A feature film, two concert movies, a TV show, a set at Coachella — not bad.

Things have greater value when they have an ending. And the whole reason for doing the tour in the first place was to give all of us wider exposure. And it worked. Zach and Maria are blowing up and busy. And Brian and I can barely keep our Stork ‘n’ Stumpy’s Plum Fritters on the shelf. It’s unfair, now that all of us have benefited from the tour, to herd everyone back into a cramped van three or four times a year. The scheduling hassles are becoming un-workable. And we don’t ever want this to become a chore.

So we’re doing our farewell show Saturday, July 26th. That’s twenty four days from when this is being written. We’re doing in in San Diego, at the Spreckels Theatre, where we figure the most number of our fans will be gathered within the same zip code. And there’s going to be some monumental special guests on the show”

They also add:

“And who knows? There might be sporadic get-togethers in the coming years. Patton’s curating the comedy at this year’s All Tomorrow’s Parties in upstate New York. And Coachella eventually wants us back. But those’ll be special occasions.”

Farewell, Comedians of Comedy. They will be missed. Obviously, they are not stopping touring, or comedy, so you can still catch the individual members of the Comedians of Comedy headlining, writing, and hosting different events and projects all over the country.
