Product Description

Product Description

Comic greats REDD FOXX and GROUCHO MARX headline this hilarious double bill of old school style stand-up comedy, performed live in front of a studio audience.

Taped shortly before he became the star of the hit TV series Sanford & Son, Redd Foxx chain smokes as he ribs a mixed audience with a politically incorrect routine of jokes about poverty, race relations, slavery, the Vietnam War, women and dwarves.

Sporting his trademark cigar and deadpan delivery, Groucho Marx interviews members of the audience and answers questions pitched by announcer Ed Jordan about his long comic career as one-third of the manic Marx Brothers, stars of such classic films as Duck Soup and A Night At The Opera.

Gone but not forgotten, Redd Foxx and Groucho Marx live and laugh again in these vintage performances of two true comedic giants.

1.0 out of 5 stars groucho marx/redd foxx Jan 23 2010
By Sean David Dalton
redd foxx was good but the groucho marx bit sucked! it looked quite a bit as if he was just reading off of cue cards with no real humour or facial expressions. I cant believe he is thought of as a great comic for his time!

5.0 out of 5 stars Two episodes of the TV show "One Man Show" packaged together April 2 2008
By Anthony G. Hutchinson - Published on Amazon.com
This DVD is two episodes of TV show called "One Man Show."

The show seems to be early 1970s or late 1960s.

Foxx (shown pre-Sanford and Son) does some great material on many subjects (including race.) Pretty G rated stuff, which is fun to see from a notoriously raunchy comic.

Groucho doesn't really inspire lots of laughs during a monolouge about his daily routine, but is rather funny as he takes questions from the audience.
Each episode is about 30 minutes long.

The DVD also has about 10 minutes of footage of a much younger Marx on the TV show Hollywood Palace.

1.0 out of 5 stars So sad July 26 2010
By Jake Paris - Published on Amazon.com
When I first saw this at the library I was really excited to watch it. I'd never seen any stand-up by Groucho, and Redd Foxx on Sanford & Son always cracked me up. This was such a huge disappointment! Groucho did a short standup during which he was painfully obviously reading his jokes off the teleprompter (which were not that funny to begin with, and made worse by the poor craftsmanship). His Q & A had a few funny moments, but not funny like a professional comedian; more funny like you might chuckle at a witty shoe salesman.

Redd's episode was better and was at least funny. But it still seemed more like someone practicing a bunch of jokes in a row, rather than a polished routine.
