Tweets were comedy-heavy as performers shared their favorite tweets, twitpics and twitvids to a packed house.

Stiller read his all-time favorite tweet, "On a remote island vacationing, really enjoying dropping off the grid, totally disconnecting from the world."

AMC's Mad Men star, Rich Sommer, stood and delivered his tweet completely in the buff as his tweet recounted his 'bad dream' in which he was speaking before a crowd in his birthday suit.

"I changed a baby's diaper today and she had a totally shaved vagina," said Sarah Silverman. "What a country!"

Diablo Cody wore a fake baby bump and reluctantly admitted "@justinbieber, you're the father."

A Night of 140 Tweets will cost $2.99 on iTunes to download.

A DVD with exclusive content is available on Amazon.com for $14.95. The "A Night of 140 Tweets" DVD will be available through CreateSpace DVD on Demand, a solution which manufacturers DVDs only in response to customer demand, which can result in minimal risk
