Pete Holmes: Faces and Sounds

In advance of the 2017 premiere of his new HBO comedy series Crashing, Pete Holmes stars in his first HBO stand-up comedy special, taped earlier this year in front of a live audience at The Vic Theatre in Chicago. Directed by noted film and music-video director Marcus Raboy, Pete Holmes: Faces and Sounds features Holmes' playful but razor-sharp commentary on the absurdity of society, as the comedian combines his infectious enthusiasm with his ability to find humor in the most mundane aspects of everyday life. Over the course of one hysterical and entertaining hour, Pete Holmes shares his thoughts on such disparate topics as: the keys to happiness; the illogicality of nightmares; being an "easy laugh"; what to wear on a flight; bizarre quirks of language; filling one's "joy quota"; the ridiculousness of porn; and more.
