NEW YORK, Nov 02, 2009 -- Dane Cook has done it all on his way to the top of the comedy world including sold out concerts across the country, rocking (where he will be headlining again on Thursday, November 5 and currently on the final leg of his world tour), and becoming a movie star in the process.

Now watch him as he takes on his biggest challenge yet, performing in front of 400 people at the in Hollywood.

On Tuesday, November 17, "Dane Cook: ISolated INcident" stand-up special will be released nationwide on DVD and download-to-own including iTunes (pre-order Tuesday, November 3) and Amazon Video On Demand. In addition, the special will be available in standard and high definition versions on Xbox LIVE Marketplace, Zune and PlayStation Store.

"Dane Cook: ISolated INcident" DVD, released uncensored by COMEDY CENTRAL Home Entertainment and Home Entertainment, features the following bonus materials: "ISolated INterview," a never-before-seen interview with Dane and "30 Premeditated Acts" which features the comedian explaining the genesis of some of his jokes.

Coming off his last two highly-rated specials, where he performed in front of a combined 70,000 people, Cook reinvented his act and took it to the stage in the most intimate way -- in front of 400 people at the Laugh Factory in Hollywood on the Sunset Strip. The material that Cook performs in this "ISolated INcident" special event is in a completely different tone than what we have seen in the past which includes brand , cutting-edge material that pushes the envelope to its highest level.

The event was so simple in concept, yet was filmed unlike any other stand-up comedy event -- one performance filmed with only one camera so that the audience could view the show as if they were there that evening.

Throughout the show, the audience was taken into a unique nightclub atmosphere while watching an authentic real-time performance without a safety net, which turned out to be an incredibly groundbreaking experience.
