Richard Pryor: From Bombs to Standing Ovations

Chris Spencer is a longtime comedian who makes me laugh so hard every time I see him. He’s got a new doc on Vice called Black Comedy In America.

I'm glad he shared this. Most people don't understand how much work goes into being a good comedian

Richard Pryor was absolute comedic genius. A legend. A scientist indeed.

Overnight sensations are very rare. They work at it and when it’s ready they catch fire!

Hope 🙏🙏 everything is good with Chris, Richard was a comedic genius

Richard's comedy was his therapy, the stage was his couch. Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday he's letting you know what's going on in his life, no matter how dark. By Thursday he's come to grip with it, by Friday he's using his pain to make everyone laugh and forget about their own demons.

Saying something to a audience, and audience laughed, is like a natural high. You love it like a drug.

HE MADE SURE HE DIDN'T REPEAT HIMSELF ON STAGE

[adamtheagent]

I never peeped that it was kenard who said “it’s my turn to be omar” truly adds another layer to how things turned out

[christinawells]

That's how successful comedians become successful.

Katt Williams talks about great comedians being judged by their laugh per minute ratio . Definitely some science to the art .

[derrickbeans]

The moral of the story is to never go to the comedy stores Sun-Thursday.

[WiltonWashington-pxzh]

Yoo why he look like he just got choked out

[creatorschild]

Just like in football, you must liten to, study and learn from the replay. Watch that footage, listen to the playback. Critique and learn from self.

[mikewilson]

What tarnation going on with his right eye

[williamtann]

Rich was too high to remember his material. He listening to his routine trying to remember his jokes

[JOESAPHINETHECHATACTIVIST]
