Pablo is an extremely funny comedian. I haven't laughed that much in a long time. He is right up there with my other favourite Brian Regan. He has a different and hilarious take on a variety of topics. Excellent!!!

This DVD was simply amazing! I know there are many who like more intelligent or unsilly comedy, but I for one prefer this once in a while next to George Carlin for example. Pablo is amazing; get this if you're looking for a very funny Stand-Up video!

Outstanding

Format:DVD
While most Americans do not know who he is, Pablo Francisco gained national attention in the late 1990s when he became a regular performer on MADtv. After his stint at Fox, he appeared in other TV shows doing live stand-up comedy and went on tour with Carlos Mencia and the late Freddy Soto. He still maintains a busy schedule performing around the country, especially at his favorite venue, the Improv in Los Angeles where many famous American comedians have performed.
In this DVD, Francisco gives his most brilliant comedic performance. His vocal impressions of famous personalities, combined with his ability to devise ridiculous yet hilarious situations, make him a pleasure to watch. For example, he impersonates Don LaFontaine to simulate a fictional movie trailer about Arnold Schwarzenegger fighting the Italian mafia's encroachments on his tortilla-selling business.
Throughout Bits and Pieces, Francisco jokes about many things like strip club dancers, body piercings, NASCAR racing, Viagra users, Latino music, and softcore pornography. While he lacks the genius of comedians such as Richard Pryor, his work is still very funny. His ability to keep audience members in a continued state of laughter is a testament to his excellent comedic skills.

Funny As Hell. One of the Funniest Live Shows Ever.

Pablo Francisco is funny as hell. Pure and simple. He's got way different material than most comedians today and he uses sound effects he produces himself to make things funny. He has your typical comedian jokes about porn. But then he'll begin to talk about the music they play in porn. And his impressions are great too. Like of the guy who narrates the movie commercials is just brilliant and then doing an impression of Arnold Schwarzenegger selling tacos on TV. Stuff like that. This guy is a step behind George Carlin in my oppinion. Absolutely hilarious. A++++

Raising the bar for all other comics

This is what got me in to stand-up comedy. This special is just as good when I watch it today as 5 years ago. Great stories, insane punch-lines and a finish that leaves you gasping for air. Remember to watch Pablo's commentary of the show, it's almost better than the main event. He does sound-effects to his own show-hilarious!
