Bob and Tom Radio: The Comedy Tour is a DVD spin-off the American syndicated radio program, The Bob & Tom Show .

The daily show is hosted by Bob Kevoian and Tom Griswold and its format is that of a comedy variety show. There are usually several guests on the show.

Over the past few years, Kevoian and Griswold have organized comedy show tours across the US, with select groups of 4-5 comedians and one of their stalwart show members, such as Kristi Lee or Chick McGee, as an emcee. [1]

As a way to extend their format into the home video, they have filmed the performances of more than a dozen exceptional standup comedians at the historic Paramount Theatre in Anderson, Indiana. [2]

A "cleaner" and shortened version of the DVD was presented on Comedy Central shortly before the DVD went on full release to the public. [3]
