This 2-DVD set normally costs $26.99 SRP, but is currently being sold there for $21.99 and, at the moment, comes with a bonus 3rd DVD of "The Outlaugh Festival on Wisecrack" (with Margaret Cho, Jason Stuart, Cashetta, Karen Ripley, Nora of the Nellie Olesons, Bruce Vilanch, Jason Dudey, Lisp and Havana of the Gay Mafia, and Suzanne Westenhoefer). Besides that bonus disc, though, there are also some extras on the main two-disc release:

- And More!

Will this ever be sold in stores? We're not sure, so if you want it, best to get it online and be certain to get it. Here's the show description plus a look at the box art:
Headed by a cast of eight fresh up-and-coming comedic actors, The Big Gay Sketch Show features a combination of traditional and music-based sketches, pop culture parodies and recurring characters, all from a unique LGBT perspective.
