Product Description

HBO’s "On Location" special with Phyllis Diller was filmed in Denver, Colorado. The tall talent of Miss Diller is perfect for the ‘Mile High City.’ She pulls out all the stops and causes the audience to laugh with her, especially when she brings up her husband "Fang", who always gets the worst of it. Defined by her look; a wild haired and oddly dressed housewife, she may have become a caricature, but also a monumental beacon for young women entering the world of comedy.

5.0 out of 5 stars This will make you SPLIT your sides!, January 9, 2007

By	Joseph Simon Hancock "Scifientist" (Sarasota, FL) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

If you like good Comedy, and you LOVE Phyllis Diller, this is for you. To be honest I didn't realize this was an HBO SRO (Standing Room Only - Remember that from the 70's?) production in Denver. I also didnt expect the video and sound quality to be as clear and amazing as it is. Phyllis gives a short biographical introduction, then its on with the show! I have personally seen Phyllis twice and let me tell you, this DVD caused me to laugh just as hard, if not harder than my two previous live experiences. This is something for you comedy buffs, a must for a classic collection with comedy. And a note to Phyllis: Thanks for all the laughs!

5.0 out of 5 stars Classic Phyllis Diller, May 6, 2007

By	DVD Fan (Tempe, Arizona USA) - See all my reviews

This is Phyllis Diller as you would see her in Las Vegas. Some of the material here would not have been allowed on regular television, but instead was shown on HBO in its earliest years. Phyllis includes many of her classic topics in this broadcast including her "husband" Fang, her cooking and housekeeping skills. Some of the material may not be considered as risque now, but it was back in the mid-1970's for sure. Phyllis also gives us a real treat by playing the piano.

I'd recommend this video to anyone who's ever enjoyed Phyllis Diller on television and in the movies.

5.0 out of 5 stars The best of three, January 21, 2009

By	Carole (Victoria, Australia) - See all my reviews

The best of three DVD's on Phyllis Diller, which I have seen. The setting is dated but the performance is refreshing, presenting Phyllis in her comic prime. See for yourself just what made Phyllis the star she became; and, if you then want more, "Goodnight, We Love You-The Life and Legend of Phyllis Diller" makes for a good follow-up.
