Insomniac with Dave Attell

|
Insomniac with Dave Attell is a television show on Comedy Central hosted by comedian Dave Attell. In the typical Insomniac, Attell goes through a particular city at night, starting out at a comedy club and then going to various bars, landmarks, clubs, etc. Along the way he cracks jokes with passers by and takes pictures with a disposable camera. The thrill of the show revolves around the truly bizarre denizens of the night that Dave encounters at all hours of the night. Mostly Dave wanders around cities in North America, but more recently he has been to Germany and Japan as well. The show always ends when the sun comes up, Dave bids his camera crew and the audience farewell, and looks for a place to crash.
The program ran for three seasons of 1/2 hour episodes on Comedy Central and then went on to produce 6 one-hour specials that were filmed in Tokyo, Amsterdam, Rio de Janeiro, Dublin, London and the Southern US.
The Executive producer of Insomniac was Nick McKinney and Producers were Dave Hamilton and Mala Chapple - all of BorderlineTV - a Manhattan based production compnay, McKinney and Hamilton also directed all the episodes.
