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

 Almost watching him live! July 12, 2008
This show was recorded twenty years ago, but as I watched it, the material, delivery, and humor seemed fresh and cogent and not dated at all. Seems a throw back might appear out of date and unfunny given the new comics and their dirty and blue material. But Mr. Mason reminds us how timeless and funny he can be with a clean show. I have watched it three times already so that I would not miss any of his comments. His accent and delivery are too regional and fast for my adopted southern home. But I finally got it all.
Funny January 8, 2008
This is the 2nd DVD that I have viewed and enjoyed of Jackie Mason. He is funny as always.

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.

The definitive Mason February 11, 2007
I saw this show on HBO shortly after its Broadway debut. I recalled Mason from my youth but preferred other "more cool" comedians back then. But this show converted me to Mason's brand of humor. In fact, he became my wife's and my favorite comedian, dislodging George Carlin from that position (quite a change, I realize that!). Because, arguably, this show boosted Mason to the superstar comedian rank, I give it 5 stars.
