The late Richard Jeni was tremendously funny with a great pace through his act. I took the whole family to see him perform during his tour of this DVD. A great time and a great memory.
Rating: - Tope shelf comedy!
This comedy special made me cry from laughing. That guy can really think on his feet. Loved it! Have loaned this CD to several friends and everyone
gave it "thumbs up". Will buy his other CD's! Too, too sad that the world has lost this fantastic talent!
Rating: - Brilliantly Funny....
Super funny and very intelligent comedy. This guy's a comic genius, so sorry he had to leave us though.
Rating: - I intend to buy this DVD
I have seen some clips of this on websites you can google if you want to preview. If all I get is a better quality version of the partial routines I have seen, then this is worth it.
Tragic that he ended his life; who knows what joy he could have brought to so many had he just could have ridden out the dark times. But such is the life of the artistic geniuses
Rating: - Truth in Humor
Richard Jeni hit a homerun with this performance that was originally shown for a number of years on HBO. His carefully crafted portrayal of the human condition and hilarious satirical treatments are perfectly balanced to allow him the opportunity to poke fun at everyone without polarizing his audience, unless of course you're maybe Michael Jackson, a mindless liberal, a right-wing neo-con, or a fence-sitting whiner. That just about covers all of us at one level or another, which is why Mr. Jeni is so funny and incredibly poignant.
In spite of the fact that the video is a few years old, it is still marvelously in step with the current, American-cultural-dynamic that shapes our collective conscience. Richard is incredibly astute when it comes to pointing out our undeniable human nature and bringing to the surface the comic irony of the less than perfect treatments we all apply, with such fervor, to our lives.
It is maybe the funniest stand-up performance I've ever seen, but don't take my word, watch it for yourself. I belly laugh every time I see this video and can say every person I've shown or given this CD to has had the same reaction.
The performance is little racy at times and should be for adult viewing.
For those of you who don't know it, Richard committed sucicide recently, which is too bad. I mourned his passing for a number of months last year and really didn't want to watch the video for a while. I recently showed it to some family and friends and the effect ... Read More
