Sinbad is a great comedian

This show is so funny, I laughed my butt off. I watched this show when I was little and have always wanted to see it again. I never could find it until now. We watched it the night we recieved the movie in the mail. Laughed all night. My husband has even watched a couple more times since that night. Its a good buy. May 2, 2008

Amazing Stand-up.... and he does not even cuss once!!!!!

I found it very difficult, if not impossible for me to grasp conceptually, that a stand-up comedian could be laugh out riot funny without being profane and lascivious.

Ok, there are a few exceptions, but this is more street funny, at the same time being clean. It showcases the true talent of Sinbad here, in that most stand-ups utilize profanity as a silly crutch for their acts to gain favor with the audience, but this man and his act is so different. It represents a mature comedy routine, and not like the way, Pryor, Murphy, the kings or Carlin would or for that matter could do.

This DVD is in my collection and is a great "picker upper", when i have one of those days.
Please do check it out if not already done so. March 20, 2008

Sinbad, what can I say.Well he is one of the greatest comics in the world. I think that sums it up. I dont think this is his best performance but it is definitly funny. I'll watch it many times. March 3, 2008

1 of Best Standups

Sinbad is probably the most looked over comedians because he get's overshadowed by the Pirate, but on the stage with a Mic he could make the toughest swashbuckler cry from laughter. This is definitely worth purchasing if you like a good stand up. He touches on his youth and things he encountered growing up you might be able to relate to... go ahead and check it out.

BECAUSE I CAN'T GIVE 6

I'm a Sinbad fan. The man is funny. You can't watch him or listen to him without laughing out loud. And, there is no off language, no blue material and no vulgarity. HOW DOES HE DO IT! The man is funny that's all.
Keep 'em coming, Sinbad. February 6, 2008
