Originally presented as an HBO special, this precursor to the hit series, Curb Your Enthusiasm, presents a mock observational documentary portrait of Larry David’s return to stand-up comedy after a ten-year absence. The crew follows David and his agent Jeff Greene (Garlin) as they negotiate with HBO to film the performance for a network special. Although most of the film focuses on David in his everyday life, it is introduced by stock footage of David from his early days in comedy and a series of interviews with comedy notables such as his former Seinfeld cohorts, Jason Alexander, Larry Charles and Jerry Seinfeld, all of which complicates the lens through which these hilarious events can be appreciated.
