This definetely showed Tommy at his Best. This guy is sooo freeken funny, i was rollin during his stand up comedy. if ur in for a good laugh, then trust me, check this out.

Tommy Davidson in this movie, made me laugh harder than i can remember, and as much as i love jim carry, this one beets it times 10, this guy is Hellarious. he is great at making people laugh, check it out ull love it.

Ok, Tommy Davidson is so funny and this comedy show helps convey the wild side of him. He is so good at making someone laugh. I cry with laughter each time I watch this video. I think that if you have never seen Tommy in standup, then this will be the perfect first choice.

The other reviewers are correct. This is Tommy at his funniest, and if you haven't seen this video, you are sure to get some serious laughs. However, I do remember seeing a longer duration version of this on TV many years ago with some VERY funny material that is missing in this video. For example, his Al Jarreau impression.....HILARIOUS!! But for silly corporate reasons, you won't see it in this video. Paramount / Showtime edited this "home video" version down to 30 minutes from what used to be an hour-long TV special....which was also edited down from the actual live show which was about a 90 minutes long! All those funny jokes were left on the cutting room floor. The truth is: they cheaped us out, thinking 30 minutes is enough for the home viewer, because using less tape is more cost effective for Paramount. Guess what - I'd easily pay $50 for the full show! Ironic isn't it? Thumps up for Tommy - one of the funniest stand up comedians EVER! SHAME ON SHOWTIME / PARAMOUNT!!!!!

I first saw this show on tv or a cable show and laugh sooo hard I almost choked.I think this was when Tommy Davidson first started out and was at his best then, very talented.All his work since then have been great. When it came on again I taped it. My family and friends saw it and also thought it was hilarious so I had to make some copies. Since then I no longer have a vhs player only a dvd player but, the last time I tried to watch it the volume was very low and friends and family can't find their copy. I wish to god that this was on dvd, I probably would buy it for 25 or 30 dollars if it became available ,but not on vhs. Can you let me know if it does? I would reserve some copies today. Thanks A.D

Hilarious...I have held on to my VHS for years. PLEASE come out with the dvd soon! PLEASE! PLEASE! PLEASE! :)

This is BY FAR one of if not THE best comedy stand-up's I have ever seen! My mother, the most Christian woman I know even cracks us at this! She was the one who showed me! My sister and I know this DVD by heart and still watch it all the time! I'm laughing just thinking about the beer jokes! HAAAA HA HA HA HAAAA! LMAO! And Freddy..."Freddy's in da' house...." Yall know what I'm talkin bout! If not Buy the VHS! They need to put this on DVD ASAP before we warp our VHS!

I really wish this would come out on DVD. My poor video is just falling apart. I have so many "inside jokes" from this routine that I scare people with some of the things that come out of my mouth. I have never laughed so hard in my life! Tommy Davidson is brilliant and an absolute riot. If you haven't seen it, you need to.

I thought it was originally longer - thank you for making me realize that I am not going crazy.
