If you are a true robbin harris fan dont waste your money,beacause the little skits you do get to see are very short.And as you start to get into the few that are on the dvd another comedian jumps in with his opinion on why robbin harris is funny I literally was fast fowarding every few minutes to get past them in hopes of finally watching robin harris with no interuption.The dvd reads like you'll be watching robin harris but you wont..........very dissappointing save your money!!!!!!!!!!!!!Movie Review: Not funny.

Summary: 4 Stars
Robin Harris was a Funny Soul Brother period. this Dvd captures Harris at his Peak,but not enough footage overall. there still really hasn't been a DVD that fully captures Him all the way that showcases his greatness. but this DVD I remember seeing on Cable back in the day. Robin Harris personally ushered in a whole new era of Comedy&if you don't know then you should check out his work because Robin Harris left a lasting impression. RIP.Movie Review: Bittersweet Testament To One of Comedy's Finest
Summary: 4 Stars
The late Robin Harris was on his way to superstardom when he died unexpectedly of a heart attack at age 36. Sadly, very little material exists of this master. His unique "down home" style paved the way for fellow Chi-Town comic Bernie Mac's eventual breakthrough and success. As the first commercially available DVD on Robin (sadly, his ***** HBO One Night Stand was announced a couple years back but never released)this is definitely a must own. It is produced by Michael Willams, the founder of The Comedy Act Theater, the South Central nightspot where comedians like Harris, Martin Lawrence, Kym Whitley, Joe Torry and Chris Tucker first gained fame. Essentially, it consists of a TV pilot filmed independently in 1989 at the CAT that until now, has never been seen. In between segments featuring Robin (sometimes in drag), Myra J, Lewis Dix, Reynaldo Rey and Cheryl Lee Ralph, are recently shot interviews with Williams and other comedians and friends who knew Robin. Tiny Lister and John Henton pop up in cameos. For a casual viewer, the laughs will probably come more from the crazy late 80s wardrobe than actual jokes, but every moment Robin is onstage is magic. If the show had been produced, it would have fit in well next to the syndicated "Uptown Comedy Club" and "Apollo Comedy Hour," or the current "Tom Joyner Show," if not "In Living Color." In a lot of ways, this is also a testament to Mr. Willams, a man who was also ahead of his time. He recognized the need for an all-black comedy club in LA where comedians could experiment and be themselves. His accomplishment clearly opened the door for Def Comedy Jam, BET Comicview, The Kings of Comedy Tour, the movies Friday and Topper Carew's Talkin' Dirty After Dark. There's still plenty of room for a full-length retrospective of Robin Harris' legacy. However, If you want a rare glimpse of the earliest days of what became a huge cultural phenomenon definitely order this dvd up today.
