Eddie Murphy - Raw (1987)


"Eddie Murphy Raw (1987) is an American stand-up comedy film directed by Robert Townsend and starring Eddie Murphy. It was Murphy's second feature stand-up film, following Eddie Murphy Delirious. However, unlike Delirious, Raw received a wide theatrical release. The 93-minute show was filmed in New York City's Felt Forum, a venue in the Madison Square Garden complex." - Wikipedia

"For an hour and a half he talks about his favourite subjects: sex and women." - IMDb

"The energetic and often extremely raunchy set begins with a series of impressions, most involving some celebrity becoming upset at Murphy for unflattering jokes: a squeaky-voiced Michael Jackson threatens to pummel Murphy into the ground; an enraged Mr. T is confused by Murphy's verbal sleight of hand; and even paragon of calm Bill Cosby loses his cool while chastising the comic for his dirty mouth." - Rotten Tomatoes

"Mr. Murphy, a lot less interested in subtlety, does what he can to start fights between the couples in his nightclub audience by making wicked fun of sexual hypocrisy and insisting that infidelity is a way of life." - The New York Times
