      Movie Info

      Richard Pryor takes the stage at the infamous Hollywood Palladium in one of his first performances after a well-publicized battle with drugs. 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.

      Audience Reviews for Richard Pryor Live on the Sunset Strip

      • Aug 16, 2015
        Pryor occasionally drops philosophical during this concert performance in 1982, particularly when recounting his experiences in Africa. The highlight is definitely his ability to find humor in telling the story of how he incinerated himself when freebasing coke and paints a scary/funny picture of the devilish power of addiction.

        started off funny, gradually became mostly funny and then turned into "why am i watching this?"

        All Richard Pryor's stand up is excellent. He's very vulgar, so that's the only caveat.
