Large cast comedies allow for more choices for joke\u00a0telling as more combinations of personalities can create some hilarious\u00a0situations. This week on CinemaJaw we take a look at the best examples of this as we cover our Best Ensemble\u00a0Comedy films!<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-3472\" src=\"http:\/\/cinemajaw.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/06\/cinemajaw-tim-kazurinsky.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"600\" height=\"450\" srcset=\"https:\/\/cinemajaw.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/06\/cinemajaw-tim-kazurinsky.png 600w, https:\/\/cinemajaw.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/06\/cinemajaw-tim-kazurinsky-300x225.png 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 600px) 100vw, 600px\" \/>Joining us is a guy who knows about being in a comedic ensemble.

You may not know that he also penned the screenplay for the David Mamet adaptation and cult classic <strong>About Last Night<\/strong> (portions of which were filmed at our original &#8220;studio&#8221; The Original Mother&#8217;s). He&#8217;s also done lots of television with appearances on <strong>Curb Your Enthusiasm<\/strong>, <strong>Married with Children<\/strong>, <strong>According\u00a0To Jim<\/strong> and more! As if all that wasn&#8217;t enough, you may have caught Tim on stage as the Wizard of Oz on the 1 st National Tour of <strong>Wicked<\/strong>&#8230; And now, another feather in his cap, Guest on CinemaJaw!
