Luenell: Eddie Murphy Returning to Stand-Up Would Be Huge Feat

While discussing the possibility of Eddie Murphy returning to stand-up, Luenell points out, "With comedy, you're only as good as your last show." She goes on to explain that doing stand-up "is a muscle that you have to exercise." Respect is then given to Eddie Murphy because he's already attained a pinnacle of stand-up greatness which allowed his smooth transition to film.

Luenell soon reveals that the inherent grind and hustle of stand-up may no longer appeal to Eddie as he has already accomplished and sustained financial wealth. She claims, "Once you cross into a certain category you don't have to grind and hustle that hard anymore. You can make way more money doing a film for three-quarters of a million dollars than you will doing stand-up."

Soon she insists, "Unless it's really in you to do comedy, which if it were then you would have never stopped, then you just don't do it anymore." This statement then segues into her declaration that if Eddie Murphy decided to make a return, then "He would really have to come back with something explosive."

I remember Chris Rock saying the same thing about how it's an exercise and it's almost impossible to quit doing stand-up for X amount of years, then think you can get right back where you left off.  That's why he said even though he makes movies, he makes sure to do stand-up in small clubs all over the country, just to stay sharp, so that when he's ready to drop another HBO special, it'll be like he never left.

P.S.  I'm waiting on that new special, Chris.  It's been like 7 years!

I only want him to do it if he comes out 100% funnier than everyone else out right now.

As far as being a stand up comedian goes, I don't think many can hold a candle to him in his prime. The challenge is him putting out the quality material.

I hope Eddie does come back to stand-up. I still watch RAW and Delirious to this day and it's still funny af.

Eddie Murphy doesn't need stand up. He's filthy rich!

[agthaog]

Shes ryte but on another note why is her forehead doing sooo much work. She bout ta turn super saiyan in a min

[xavierturner]

If Eddie Murphy could practice and hopefully regain his Delirious & Raw years again....Kevin Hart will be in serious trouble was a god in his prime and the only comedian today that could take him is Corey Holcomb!

[Lordwilliem]

Every comic wants eddy murphy success just like every singer want micheal Jackson success if not what are you doing it for? If you don't want to be the biggest richest and most famous sit your ass down I only look up to those who strive to be the best
