In most cases, comedy albums or specials are very often edited, using the best parts of multiple performances in single or multiple venues to get the best performances. In some cases, the audio CD of a performance can differ from the video of a performance, showing this editing process at work. Track 4 of the album contains an additional joke at the end of the track that does not appear on the video version of the same title. This album is a useful and unique comedic artifact in that it shows the difficulties that can occur during live comic performances.
