Richard Pryor doing a boxing routine.

Funniest mother fucker that ever lived and the finest stand up performance I have ever seen.
Pryor was the King for me. Murphy, Rock etc all owe it to him. Loved RP's story about flushing a load of coke down the toilet so his grandmother wouldn't see him with it and she beats the head off him "I told you that shit would make you stupid! You could've sold some back to the man!" :lol: :lol: :lol: 8)

Also LOVE the sorely missed Bill Hicks. 8)
Think I missed your reply here till it got kicked up again.

I don't know if the best black comedians owe it to Pryor, but I'm sure that is not what you are trying to say bud.

Every comedian should make it his work to try and be that funny becasue Richard Pryor is/was the funniest man that ever mother fucking lived.

Every man that tells jokes owes it to the spirit of Pryor to make them the best they could ever be.

But you can't beat that.

Never ever.

Ever ever.

I really miss Frankie's weekly attacks on Jordan and Katona. :(
And posh spice - "It must be like fuckin' a skeleton" :D :D :D

Stewart Lee. His Joe Pasquale rant on YouTube is the greatest take-down of someone ever written.

Not a fan at all of American comedians, fucking hate Eddie Murphy.
Went to see Jake O' Kane on Saturday night, was surprisingly good.
