Richard Pryor: Live and Smokin'
When Richard Pryor took the stage at a small New York stand-up club back in April 1971, his white liberal audience didn't know what had hit them. The raw young comic delivered a no-holds-barred performance, aggressively daring people to react. An astonishing record of how he started honing his stand-up skills, Pryor is visibly nervous yet nevertheless leaves himself wide open (as he did throughout his career), producing shocked silences when discussing such topics as sleeping with white women and giving men oral sex! An early glimpse at a comedy genius.
