“Eric Bogosian’s Funhouse.” EZTV. $39.95. Cinemax has scheduled Bogosian for its next “Comedy Experiment” special, but this 82-minute performance taped at Los Angeles’ Matrix Theatre makes one wonder whether the show will be worth tuning in. Specializing in obnoxious characters, he engulfs his audience in a stream of bores, bums, creeps and crazies--from a neighborhood bully to a “success” salesman. They’re well portrayed, but only a few are drawn with depth and even fewer with much real humor. The whole psychodramatic array seems more like an audition for a Martin Scorsese film than a comedy act. Information: (213) 657-1532.
