Bill Cosby, Himself

Buy This Item Bill Cosby, Himself by 20th Century Fox  Available from Amazon  $6.98  on 11-25-2008     One of America's most popular comedians, Bill Cosby treats his fans to a funny, satirical and heart-warming concert at Toronto's Hamilton Place Performing Arts Center. His material ranges from marriage and the unending trials of parenthood, to the side-splitting antics of the very young, and a hilarious encounter with a dentist's drill and needle. Insightful and witty, this highly entertaining film is a rare cinematic treat, filled with all the spontaneity and electricity that only a live performance can provide. Reader Reviews There was a time, long ago, when I could recite most of the album from memory. Yes, album, because I'm an old guy. But this was the first time I'd actually seen the man in concert, and it most certainly won't be the last. Absolutely one of the most hilarious concerts I've ever seen. Beside me, my Australian wife was also laughing so hard we had to pause the thing from time to time, so he crosses national boundaries as easily as he does racial ones. I had no idea he was so visual as well as verbal. And at a whopping 102 minutes, I really hope they pieced this together from several performances, because doing all that in a single session would probably kill somebody. Just remembering that much material would be too much for most. It's too easy to remember what his career turned into and dismiss him, but in his prime, meaning right here, wow. I've slipped this one onto that very special place in my shelves where DVDs live that I'll watch again and again and never part with. That's why it's got five stars. I don't give those out very often, especially not to DVDs, because I'm one of those dreadful snobs who reads books.
