Richard Pryor

Richard Pryor has passed away, aged 65, after years with multiple sclerosis. Although he was famous in the 1980's for a series of dreadful (and less dreadful) films, his live stand-up shows from the mid-late 1970's are absolute perfection. Please, I beg you, dear reader(s), invest in one of them. You will laugh like the proverbial drain. Unless you believe the Two Ronnies to be the cutting edge of comedy....

I was preparing to go utterly unmoved by his death as I can only remember those ludicrous films with him and Gene Wilder, whom I loathe with all my heart. But if you insist he's a comic genius - even better than the Two Ronnies - then I shall keep an eye out for his shows. The chances of me finding them in Germany are, I imagine, slim.
