Denis Leary: No Cure for Cancer

Directed by Ted Demme

199362 min7.0 / 10

A brash, high-energy stand-up special where Leary uses irreverent humor and confrontational delivery to mine dark subject matter—addiction, mortality, family dysfunction—for laughs.

Ticked off comic Denis Leary talks honestly about subjects ranging from smoking, red meat, drugs, his family, rehab, and yes, cancer.
