I've mentioned my love around here for "Richard Pryor Live in Concert" more than a few times. I saw it three or four times back in 1979 when it played at the theatre, and I've owned the video for at least 15 years. I usually watch it about twice a year, so I guess I've seen it about 35 times. Pryor had other stand-up films play at the theatre, including one with a title which is ALMOST exactly the same as the one I love. They all have their moments, but there's no point in watching them without seeing this one. This one is non-stop hilarity and wisdom presented by an incredibly-talented physical and vocal comedian. I've seen lots of stand-up (or in the case of "Bill Cosby Himself", sit-down), but "Richard Pryor Live in Concert" is the most honest, intense and entertaining I've ever seen.

My girlfriend has a really good Redd Foxx stand up act on tape that I don't recall the title of. Gotta love Robin Williams Live on Broadway, Delirious, Raw, all the Chris Rock specials, George Carlin and Richard Pryor.

How is it that only one person mentioned Chris Rock? That's just not right.

Oh, I noticed that. That's who I was referring to with "only one person mentioned." Not myself.

I second that emoticon. Funniest president since Nixon. Ditto for Gaffigan. He's also the funniest president since Nixon. |
