HBO Comedy Half-Hour: Jeff Cesario

Jeff Cesario takes the stage to weigh the nutritional value of broccoli against the undeniable appeal of Cheetos. It is a straightforward, observational set from a comic who knows how to structure a joke and deliver it to a theater crowd without needing to reinvent the form.

Filmed at The Fillmore in San Francisco, this 1996 performance kicked off the third season of the HBO Comedy Half-Hour series. Billed by the network as an Emmy-winning comedian, Cesario leans on his background as a television writer to deliver a structured, professional thirty minutes to a Bay Area audience.
