Chris Rock - Bring the Pain (1996)


"The second HBO stand-up special by Chris Rock." - IMDb

"Bring the Pain premiered on June 1, 1996 on HBO. Rock's performance included bits about then-D.C. mayor Marion Barry, the O.J. Simpson murder case, dating, marriage, andrace relations in America." - Wikipedia

"An eight-minute riff during this show saw Rock take on a controversial subject close to home – and it made him a star" - The Guardian

"Anyone who'd seen him his early stand-up or more memorable SNL sketches knew Rock had comic chops; what most folks didn't know was that greatest stand-up of our generation has been honing an act for two years that would turn out to be a genuine gamechanger." - Rolling Stone
