Possibly the best stand up comedian EVER !!!

boogsy from , 21st October, 2004

Now, I am a fan of the likes of Ben Elton, Jack Dee, and Jerry Saodwitz, but when I first saw C Rock live, I knew this was someone very very special.

The man is a highly intelligent comic genius, he writes ALL his own material, delivers them in the BEST fashion ever, think of Ben Elton in a bad mood !!!!

He is RAZOR sharp, his observations are so ACCURATE that the laugh is really at us, the human race, with all our shortcomings.

YES, he does swear like a trooper, but he used the F word like an adjective, his humour is injecting with foul language, to increase it's dramatic impact, the language is never vulgar, with every word extremely well placed.

Quite frankly, if you do not enjoy this live performance and rate it as one of the best, if not the best comedy act ever, then maybe something more sedate, tranquill and bland ( like Emmerdale Farm ? ) would be more suitable.

PURE COMIC GENIUS - requires an intellectual mind to fully appreciate the depth and meaning of his stark observational remarks.

Love it... Love It.... Love It

Chris Rock never fails. He is indeed the funniest man in America. I particularly found his jokes about the male sexual psyche a hoot. And I quote ....'a man is as faithful as his options!' So true I think. If you are a fan of African American/American comedy then this dvd is for you.

Very American

Lizbit from , 6th October, 2009

I found this comedy a little too American. It was very literal and whilst I absolutely love Chris Rock in his films and also the hit series 'Everybody Hates Chris' I do think that his stand up appeals to a more selective audience.
