Editorial Reviews
Description:
One of America's most popular comedians, Bill Cosby treats his fans to a funny, satirical and heart-warming concert at Toronto's Hamilton Place Performing Arts Center. His material ranges from marriage and the unending trials of parenthood, to the side-splitting antics of the very young, and a hilarious encounter with a dentist's drill and needle. Insightful and witty, this highly entertaining film is a rare cinematic treat, filled with all the spontaneity and electricity that only a live performance can provide.

After I Spy and before The Cosby Show, Bill Cosby left his own inimitable mark on the arena of stand-up comedy in this live concert showcasing his down-to-earth observations on the rigors and joys of family life. Cosby, using only a microphone and a chair, discusses his take on raising kids and the illogical nature of children and the futility of trying to argue with a child that in the end may be smarter than you. Notable highlights include Cosby's ruminations on the meaning of the all-purpose phrase "I don't know" to kids, and Cosby describing the effect raising children has on his wife Camille's mental state and the pitch of her voice. Containing the basis for the humor of his long-running situation comedy, Bill Cosby: Himself is a polished, occasionally insightful, and frequently hilarious night of comedy from one of the longtime masters of the form. --Robert Lane

Content: I'll never have enough of Bill Cosby. I was worried that my dvd couldn't be played in my country (it was a region 1 dvd), but it's fine. And the best part is that it was delivered all the way to my place (outside US)
Summary: A classic

Content: This is our favorite comedy video. We bought the DVD when we finally wore out the VHS we've had for years.
Summary: Classic

Content: This DVD is absolutely hilarious. Bill Cosby is fantastic in it.
The only problem is one I discovered with the DVD itself, when operatign it on a laptop (I don't know about on a DVD player) when trying to access Scene Selection from the Menu, you have to take the mouse WAY over the right in order to get this highlighted so that you can click on it.
So far, that is the only problem I have found with it.
Summary: Just one problem

Summary: Hard To Find

Content: Well..any one who does not like this either doesn't have kids, or doesn't spend any time with the ones he/she has, because this is dead on! I remember when I was 13 being forced to watch this by my parents. At the time, I didn't find it funny. Now, as a parent, it's hilarious! I could watch this over and over and never tire of it. Everytime I watch it, I think, "I'm not alone!" It is a must see! As a parent, I thoroughly appreciate this.
Summary: A MUST SEE FOR PARENTS!
