The Patrice Oneal Show On Your Television!

DateDecember 21, 2007

POS-DVD-S1a-on-sale-c-white.jpgFor Your Imagination, a New York City based online media company, today announced the release of “The Patrice Oneal Show – Coming Soon! Season One: Episodes 1-13” on DVD through a partnership with Amazon.com’s CreateSpace service. The DVD is part of the distribution and monetization plan for Oneal’s comedy web only series that premiered May 2007 on www.patriceoneal.com.

“The sheer popularity of the web series, and the fact that his fans have been asking for this format, made this DVD release the next logical step in our partnership with Patrice,” said Paul Kontonis, For Your Imagination’s CEO. “Plus there are other ways for a web series to make money without having to wait for a sponsor to write a check.”

Oneal is known for his cringe-inducing humor, often making his audience uncomfortable to get laughs. He has hosted VH1’s Web Junk, appeared in FOX’s critically acclaimed “Arrested Development” and NBC’s “The Office”, has performed in HBO, Showtime and Comedy Central specials, been a part of Opie and Anthony’s Traveling Virus Comedy Tour and has appeared on Late Night with Conan O’Brien and The Late Show with David Letterman. Oneal is a regular guest on XM Satellite Radio’s Opie and Anthony program and a top iTunes Comedy podcaster.

“We’ve all been working very hard on this show and I’m happy to have an outlet for all of the things that VH1 wouldn’t let me say,” said Oneal.

Totally unscripted and shot weekly in New York City, “The Patrice Oneal Show – Coming Soon!” has grown into one of the best comedy web series. Along with Patrice, the series features an ensemble cast of seasoned comedians and actors: Vondecarlo Brown, Bryan Kennedy, Dante Nero, Harris Stanton and Wil Sylvince.

The DVD includes the first 13 episodes of “The Patrice Oneal Show – Coming Soon!” web series including fan favorites “Cockfights,” “Last White Man Alive, “ Dyke Punching” and “Child Labor.”  A follow up DVD comprised of the second half of the season will be released in early 2008.

Fans eager to purchase the DVD can do so through on www.patriceoneal.com/dvd and on Amazon.com.

    Response: Web Junk Alumnus, Patrice Oneal, Puts Out Edgy DVD
    by Kevin Nalts at Will Video for Food on Dec 22, 2007
    Remember VH1’s Web Junk, which sometimes didn’t suck? Comedian Patrice Oneal, whose “I don’t give a shit” attitude was the most endearing part of the show, is now making online-video shorts with NYC Studio “For Your Imagination.” The DVD includes such favorites as “Cockfights,” “Last White Man Alive, “Dyke Punching” and “Child Labor.” For more see www.patriceoneal.com.
