Richard Pryor - Live & Smokin

Live and Smokin' is possibly the greatest example of Richard Pryor's savage, pioneering comedy. Young, fierce and funny as hell - this is genuinely astonishing material. Years before the cocaine abuse and movie roles tampered with his mettle, this is the full fire of the greatest stand-up comedian of all time. Filmed in a small, hip New York stand-up club in 1971 before a shocked crowd, this is one of modern comedy's true defining moments.
