The original badass of comedy

Widely regarded as one of the best comedians of his generation, Richard Pryor was admired by comedians as diverse as Bill Cosby, Dave Chappelle and Jerry Seinfeld, the latter of whom dubbed Pryor "the Picasso of our profession". In this, the funnymans first live concert performance, Pryor is totally on top of his game, and no topic is taboo for this bawdy King of Comedy. Catch him riffing on the respective races, cussing up a storm, acting tough, getting kicked in the privates. All throughout, Richards outrageous imagination hints at the mans genius. Check him out giving his impressions of what animals think, from his own pets (a monkey and a Doberman) to police dogs. From hilarious bit to bit, hes at his very best when he pulls no punches, often making himself the butt of the joke. Its definitive Pryor, the most influential comedian of his day.
