Shot in 2003, the Patrice O’Neal Roast was produced by Comedy Anatomy's own Masavia Greer, along with Yumi Akiyama. It features some of the greatest comics of the New York scene, and is part of comedy history. Held at NYC's Boston Comedy Club, the Patrice O'Neal Roast was hosted by Rich Vos and featured Robert Kelly, DC Benny, Vanessa Hollingshead, Colin Quinn, Todd Barry, Jim Norton, Bill Burr, Lynne Koplitz, Ben Bailey, Keith Robinson, and most importantly, Greg Giraldo AND the great Patrice O’Neal.

Quality of available recordings, at this time, is known to only be as high as 480p.
