Robin Williams: Live on Broadway Trailers

2002 HBO Stand-up Special starring Robin Williams. Recorded and broadcast live from New Your City's Broadway Theater at the culmination of his historic 2002 sold-out tour, this special finds the Oscar-winning actor/writer/comedian returning after 16 years to his stand-up roots to deliver what the Washington Post calls "...in its madcap way, a seminal cultural event."

Reviews
Intcatinfo A Masterpiece!
FuzzyTagz If the ambition is to provide two hours of instantly forgettable, popcorn-munching escapism, it succeeds.
Nayan Gough A great movie, one of the best of this year. There was a bit of confusion at one point in the plot, but nothing serious.
Kayden This is a dark and sometimes deeply uncomfortable drama
Wil A I have been a huge fan of Robin Williams' stand-up comedy going right back to his first HBO special from the 70's (Which I recently watched again, and laughed as hard as I did the first time I saw it). I was convinced to purchase this DVD sight unseen by a friend of mine who saw him on this tour. A little part of me was a bit worried that he might not still have "It" after all those years away from the stand-up stage. I'm glad to say that my fears were completely unfounded. If anything, he got better with age! I was literally in tears from laughing so hard. One criticism I've heard from some people I've shown this DVD to, was his use of coarse language. They say, "That's not the Robin Williams I know". To them I just say, obviously you have never seen his stand-up going right back to the beginning. He's always been like that, definitely for adults only! If you can take it, you will be treated to one the funniest stand-up performances ever!
RedemptionSong2 I didn't know i could laugh that hard. My lungs hurt.This is by far the funniest thing I've ever seen in my life. I've seen it over 10 times, and know almost every joke he's gonna tell. I've been quoting him for the past 3 years, and even when i watch it today its still hilarious. I never really knew robin williams was funny until i saw this. All his jokes are offensive but you have to sort of move past that to really enjoy its laughs. He goes into all aspects of comedy drugs, religion, getting older, sex, sports, and the olympics, he even fits in a little something about martha stewart. And you always have to have some sort of bush jokes.
caspian1978 20 years ago, Robin Williams had his best live stand-up on Broadway. 20 years later, Robin returns (live) to give an even better performance and equally funny. 52 years old and not slowing down for a second, Robin Williams is non-stop for almost 2 hours as he tackles terrorism, sex, drugs, family, golf, drinking, cats, the gay mafia, and everything else you can think of. Less poetic as his first stand up show 20 years before, but Live on Broadway (2002) is one of the best stand up shows of the year, by far!
Fraxer_84 This is the best stand-up show I'v ever seen. The bodylanguage he uses sometimes when he preformes the jokes it totally aoutrageous. Some people have written that this was not good because he made jokes about: races, sexuality, countries, celebrations... Well, what did you guys have in mind? If you are going to have a show that is 1.40 hrs then you need some raw material. I think that the ones who say this wasen't muture or I think he cursed to much, thats fine, you can think so. But just because youre a grown up doens't meen that u can laugh when he makes those unmuture jokes. He is in his 50's now, and still going strong. I hope to see another Broadway performance by him, then i sure going to be there as well.I highly recommend u to view this, I have never laughed so much in my entire life at a stand-up show before.//Robin
