Richard Pryor: Live In Concert

WHAT'S IT ABOUT? Horse-shit, vibrators, oral sex, knife-fights, pissing, being arrested and being fucked in the ear by a monkey. Each one a true story from the first man ever to do comedy from a truly dark place. Raised in a brothel, sexually abused and beaten by gangs as a kid, Pryor could make a pants-wettingly great routine out of anything. This 1979 concert has bits about his first heart attack and the time he blasted his wife's car to bits with a .44 Magnum while mullered on vodka.

ANY GOOD? Not 'arf. This is the single best stand-up routine ever filmed, the comedian's comedian at the peak of his powers. And don't worry, it's not all pain - one of the best bits is about Pryor's Great Dane shagging a horse
('I don't know what it is, but I'm gon' fuck it.')
