Recorded Live at the Mayfair Theater, Santa Monica, Ca. August 6th, 1988.
This is a VHS rip. I'll Probably re-upload this one, I just need to figure out good settings for the Video Processing Amplifier. I'm Open to tips as I'm new to VHS Ripping.
The quality may not be great, but this is an amazing performance and not an easy find. I don't think you can buy this performance anymore.
Also, I'm Selling my VHS copy among other Rare VHS tapes if you're interested, like:
The Last Time I Committed Suicide
Destiny Turns on the Radio
Where the Heart Is (1990)
Music in this video:
Song
Rebel Yell
Artist

I managed to get a ticket to see this performance. When I arrived to see these huge production trucks around the theater, I was so excited. Her energy in character was just Brilliant! How lucky I was to get to watch this again here on RU-vid.

I honestly miss THIS Whoopi so much! This is the Whoopi I know and love. The Fontaine, Oda Mae Brown, Sister Mary Clarence Whoopi. Not the stranger who's on The View. I don't know that person.

You’re an idiot. These are characters she plays fool, who you see on the view is who she is, and nothing wrong with that.

@LyndaCollier-yb1rg 6 дней назад

When we review the Whoopi on the view in 30 to 40 years we will probably be saying the same thing. She has always been ahead of the rest of us.

What a wonderful, hilarious routine from the lucid junkie Fontaine. If your behind was unborn or you had not much use of your brain in the 1980s, OR you're an uptight piece of work, you might miss out on much of this exquisite humor --told, of course, through Goldberg's potty-mouthed, cynical, street-banged philosopher.

It used to be this B, Robin Willaims, and Billy Crystal. Then The View happened and people can't stand her now. George Soros is keeping that show afloat ;)

@user-mr6vo8ks9q Месяц назад

A lot happened between this standup and The View. Am guessing she’d rather be doing performance work like stand up and film roles we’d all enjoy…than the View. We don’t all get to do the work we love and are best at our whole lives! Right?

@alexanderlumberjack 2 года назад

This is painfully unfunny.

@janX9 2 года назад

I don't really look at this as a stand-up comedy bit. There is more to it than that. She tells stories which is fun too. From that perspective, I really like the *"Anne Frank House"* segment. Not funny, but intriguing. I used to listen to it in bed while going to sleep. Just imagining her story, with vivid images in my head.

It’s performative art and it’s like any other art, either it’s speaks to you or it doesn’t. This is obviously early in her career, early for this kind of “comedy”. I saw her Broadway performance on vhs when I was 10…..it was transformative for me…I’ll never forget how it made me feel as a kid. This is brilliant for its time, hard to feel that way if you are late to the game.

@@alexanderlumberjack not sure how old you are, but the 80s were a period of real “wokeness” waking up from the naivety of the 60s and 70s. When she’s talking about the HIV brothers…and the comparison to baby Jessica. It was profound. It’s easy to forget or ignore how much misinformation got actual ppl killed. Most of the things that are funny pertain to pop culture at the time. But the underlying theme was social awareness. I’m not even sorry you don’t think she’s funny, this is groundwork for an entire population that had been threatened, beaten, and killed. The race discussion is timeless. The fact that this character is a recovering addict is the only thing sad about it, I hate that she hid behind some of these characters to just say truth…she had some great characters that said a lot of great things. I wish she could have just been Whoopi.
