Richard Pryor - Live in Concert (1979)


"The second stand-up performance of Richard Pryor filmed." - IMDb

"Shot at Long Beach, California in December 1978, it was produced and distributed independently and is the first full-length, feature movie consisting of only stand-up comedy, often hailed as one of the seminal and most influential recorded stand-up performances of the modern era." - Wikipedia

"Making childhood beatings, heart attacks, abuse and prison sentences funny is an achievement – making them this funny takes genius." - The Guardian

"Richard Pryor was one of the most influential comedians of the 1970s. Here, in his first concert film, he is at his caustic, gritty best." - Rotten Tomatoes

Buy Live in Concert (DVD) from Amazon
