Delirious is better than Raw smile

Ooh, I love the part in 'Kings Of Comedy' when Steve Harvey talks about old school music lol

Martin Lawrence is, unfortunately, not even close to deserving a spot in the top five. He has his moments, but overall, he is not that funny.

Chris Rock's "Bring the Pain" is way better than Martin Laurence. It made him a household name.

I would also replace Kings of Comedy with Steve Martin's "Wild and Crazy Guy".


Of your five? Richard Pryor. Without him, none of the other 4 would even be here.

Pryor hands down with Delirious as a runner up...

Yes!

Love her. The filming of this show is hysterical in and of itself. I thought it was very brave of her to do it that way instead of in front of a real audience.

I really love Whoopi Goldberg's Direct From Broadway film.

I bought the 2-DVD set when it was released.

So mad I missed her Back on Broadway show in 2005.

she has a couple other stand-up movies/specials and they're funny, but not nearly as good as "without you i'm nothing". and what's great is, the soundtrack is a totally different performance recording than the movie, and both versions are hilarious in their own rights.
