Richard Pryor, who would have turned 71 today, was truly one of the comedy greats. "Richard Pryor...Here and Now" shows him performing in the Saenger Theater in New Orleans. He talks about a lot of the stuff on which he frequently focuses, and ends the concert with a gag that really made me crack up! The part where Pryor impersonates the Japanese was kind of racist, but other than that the concert was really good. Having survived the freebasing incident and gotten more sober, Pryor had apparently met some people whom he'd known while wasted, but now didn't recognize them! Anyway, it was always fun to see the guy doing what he did best. He will always be missed.

Not as funny, but not completely useless
Richard Pryor makes his directorial debut here in his stand-up special- Here and Now. It is a docu-comedy of new things from Pryor. Not completely funny as in 1979, but he isn't bad yet. He still brings amusing monologues and funny punchlines to witty remarkes. Pryor's true last comedy film (the 1985 film he made took place in 1971). B
This ain't no Johnny Carson Motherfcker
He's 7 months sober and doing a stand-up show in New Orleans. It's the last of his concert films. He's as foul-mouthed and irreverent as ever. He's energetic. The audience is yelling back and he's having fun with them. He's quick and sharp. He tackles everything including his own personal demons. This is a clear-headed legend at work.
