Product Description

Jackie Mason is more popular than ever, as he combines lethal political satire with his own unique observations about everyday life. This is Jackie Masonor=#ffffff>Jackie Mason is more popular than ever, as he combines lethal political satire with his own unique observations about everyday life. This is Jackie Mason’s first one-man Broadway show, which played to sold-out standing-room-only crowds for two years and was a phenomenal success on its American and European tours. This show earned Mr. Mason a special Tony award for outstanding theatrical achievement in 1989 as well as his first Outer Critics Circle Award, ACE Award, Emmy Award, and Grammy nomination. Once in a generation a performer emerges who is so extraordinary and so brilliant that everyone else in the field is measured against them. Jackie Mason is such a performer, and is widely regarded as one of the greatest stand-up comics of all time. Praise for Jackie Mason: "From beginning to end—non-stop laughter…The man is a marvel!" —New York Times "…Jackie Mason offers something to offend—and amuse—everyone." —Daily News "One of the funniest performers alive…If Mark Twain had grown up on Manhattan’s Lower East Side, he might have turned out a lot like Jackie Mason." —New York Post "His timing is flawless…Positively hilarious…Save yourself the drive to Monticello. The mountains have come to Manhattan." —New York Magazine "Jackie Mason is funny, sensational, and outrageous!" —New York Newsday "He’s the funniest man alive." —USA Today

5.0 out of 5 stars High Grade Jackie., April 18, 2007

By	Bernard Chapin "Ora Et Labora!" (CHICAGO! USA) - See all my reviews (TOP 500 REVIEWER)    (REAL NAME)

This is an outstanding hour of comedy. I disagree with one of the other reviewers about its production values because, with stand-up comics, production values are totally irrelevant. All that really matters with comedians is the quality of their material. If the material's great then it doesn't matter if there are any frills or whistles. This hour is better than the average Jackie Mason and it's distilled. There are few pauses and the DVD accelerates his delivery by breaking his performance into acts which takes out a lot of dead air time. This performance is probably about twenty years old, and I'm not sure he'd have the same things to say today about Ronald Reagan that he did back then. Regardless of a changed perspective, he puts forth some absolutely hysterical stuff here.

2.0 out of 5 stars What are you saying?, March 17, 2006

By	Steve Erwin "Steve" (Los Angeles) - See all my reviews

The material in this concert is some of Jackie's most successful and popular. Unfortunately, the production values of the recording are abysmal. The performance is 5 stars. Unfortunately, you will have a difficult time appreciating this.
Save your money and buy "Broadway", "Trilogy" or the the other DVD"s which boast outstanding production values.

5.0 out of 5 stars Jackie Mason at his very best!, January 7, 2009

By	Beck Star (Melbourne, Australia) - See all my reviews

This is a great show - the amazing come-back for Jackie Mason that relaunched his career. His real-life perceptions of Jewish and Gentile cultures are simply hilarious!! A real delight. You will be in stitches. Keep an eye out for the Ed Sullivan impersonation. This is definitely worth the price for a masterpiece of a classic comedian to add to your DVD collection.
