A LEGENDARY COMEDIAN AT HIS BEST
Richard Pryor remains one of the most influential comedians in American comedy history.
His performances were energetic, unpredictable, personal, and often completely fearless.
He had a special talent for taking ordinary experiences and turning them into unforgettable stories.
In this classic 15th Year Class Reunion performance from The Comedy Store, Pryor once again shows why his storytelling style became so important to stand-up comedy.
