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
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.

I sent this as a gift to my sister who is laid up for a bit. I saw this 25 years ago and thought it was the funniest show I had ever seen- I still do and send them to people who need a laugh.
Classic February 6, 2010

This classic performance was just as entertaining this time as it was all those years ago when it first came out. The jokes were clean and the material is hilarious if you are a parent.
 Loose disc. February 5, 2010

I purchased this disc as a gift. Upon receipt, the item sounded like many shattered pieces shifting about inside the case. Although this was intended to give as a gift, I felt compelled to ensure that I wasn't passing on damaged goods, so I had to break the cellophane seal and check. I was relieved to find that the disc had simply come loose from it's intended molding and no scratches were apparent. It was a bit embarrassing to explain to the recipient of the gift that it was in fact NEW and not a resale DVD. Also, I tried to find a way to contact Amazon or the merchant to ask about what to do if the item was broken. I found no way to contact either entity other than returning the item with the label enclosed. I needed this item for a gift and didn't have time to ship it back and wait for a response. A customer service number or email is needed, Amazon.com!
