We’ve got front row seats to one of the most legendary comedy performances filmed right in our backyard – Richard Pryor’s epically hilarious show at none other than the Hollywood Palladium, fresh off a transformative trip to Africa and battling cocaine addiction. Older, wiser and funnier than ever, the venerable comic tells outrageous jokes and a number of moving stories about his personal past — including one about a life-changing trip to Africa. Pryor’s trenchant social commentary touches on an array of subjects, from prison and mobsters to hospitals and cocaine. Filmed by legendary cinematographer Haskell Wexler, this laugh riot captures all the comedy brilliance from one of the world’s funniest men ever!
