Sharper and deeper than Robin Williams's previous road material, Live on Broadway is a mature comedian's view of all things to do with power, prejudice, and paranoia in the 21st century. On the anthrax scare of 2001: 'The Senate cleared out of their building but told the rest of us, 'Get on with your normal lives!'' On his solution to the Israeli-Palestinian conflict over Jerusalem: 'Time share!' On the pitfalls of America's deepening alliance with Britain: 'The House of Commons is like Congress with a two-drink minimum.' A viewer may have to slog through Williams's tedious breast fetishism, but patience is quickly rewarded with bitchy takes on Martha Stewart facing prison, solid satire about French existentialist judges at the Olympics, and subversive op-eds about the Bush administration's inability to clarify terrorist threats to the public ('Has the CIA become the Central Intuitive Agency?'). --Tom Keogh

Robin Williams is amazing at stand-up comedy. I don't think I've laughed this hard in a long time. This show is funny from beginning to end. It is definitely for a mature audience only since there is a great deal of foul language and riske topics discussed so I would only recommend this for the 18 and over crowd.
If you are a fan of Robin Williams, stand-up comedy, or just want a good laugh, you should pick up this DVD.

This was truly a disappointment. I have always liked Robin Williams' movies however I did not realize the foul nature of his "humor". Not only was the language a self-contest of how many foul words could he condense within a given time period, but the humour was dry to non-existant. I really tried to finish the dvd, like a bad movie you hope to find some redemptive value in; but could not. Even my 26 year old son didn't find it humorous. Robin should stick to movies.

I have watched this video over and over. I don't think it will ever get old. Be ready for nonstop comedy. There is not a moment where you are not laughing. Robin Williams uses very strong language in his stand up routine however, so this may not be for the whole family. Much of his humour is sexual, hence the TV MA rating. If you like that kind of humor, you will not be disappointed.

Robin Williams is a brilliant stand-up comic, a highly original talent who gives an over-the-top, irreverent, profane, iconoclastic, hilarious performance. It's a very funny show. Williams is alone on the large stage, his only prop being a small table loaded with bottles of mineral water. He is constantly gulping and spilling water while he sweats profusely. The bottles are used at times very comedically to demonstrate various functions.
Williams has a myriad of targets: the haughty French, President Bush, Osama bin Laden, the augmentation of body parts, cats staking out their territory, Viagra, the child molestation scandal involving priests, various churches and denominations, his own hairiness, etc. The list is long. His delivery is rapid-fire, frenetic, and sometimes too hectic and too harrowing. He is trying hard, sometimes working too hard for laughs, but he almost always hits a homer.
It's definitely not for the kiddies or for the prudish or linguistically timid. Little is sacred. It's a very visual, animated type of humour which relies on his actions as well as his words. An audio version would not do it justice. He's crude; he's coarse, but not as wild in his use of profanity as George Carlin. He returns to certain themes and riffs with the French coming in for extra jabs.
It's a broad type of almost slapstick humour that doesn't seem as satiric as just plain funny. He'll do almost anything for laughs, with the visual often topping the linguistic.
