Also I would just like to say wow to you taking on Richard. In terms of Stand Up he is elite. And I think he still holds up today

2022-04-05 21:19:14 +0000 UTCI personally started with Richard Pryor Live in Concert (1979) this is made just after he freebased and set himself on fire. He talked about it on his set and made this trauma for him hilarious (in a way drama is comedy). He was goin through some shit at the time so it's a real honest set. The next one is Live at the Sunset Strip (1983) I think that's the one in the red suit after he came back from Africa. The rest are hard to find. But I remember "That Nigger Crazy" from his earlier being a classic

2022-04-05 08:13:59 +0000 UTCYeah Andrew listed essentials but the real core art is the fact that Richard Pryor and Mel Brooks wrote Blazing Saddles and that’s one of the most powerful legacies either of them ever made.
