David Alan Grier - The Book of David: The Cult Figure's Manifesto

Customer Reviews:

"DAV-ID, DAV-ID,DAV-ID!".......2006-02-19

...truly a showcase of "DAG's" naturally funny humor and talented delivery regarding individual,collective and cultural attitudes which subtly taps into our own very human and comedic thoughts about the world around us and encourages us to laugh at our "normally/abnormal" human common sense and imperfections in a real way.

Wonderful and very funny.......2005-07-07

Another reviewer tried to contrast Grier with Chris Rock. They're right: Grier ain't Rock. So what? He's as observant and biting as Rock, especially in this DVD. Also, his comedy is more open and universal, at least in the American context, to more people (i.e., Grier doesn't really tell jokes about or make fun of African Americans, choosing to lambaste American culture generally). This is a good show to put on and watch with friends. Kick back and have a laugh.

A Word of Advice - Skip this one.......2003-09-10

I really like David Alan Grier. Saw him on Broadway and admired him ever since, which is why I picked up the dvd as soon as I saw it. I was thoroughly disappointed. I have no desire to view this dvd a second time.

So Dissapointed!.......2003-08-19

Well, I went out and bought this DVD because people said it was funny. When my husband and I were watching it, we looked at each other and said, "This is the worse stand up we've ever seen." I felt that all Mr. Grier was doing, was screaming at us. His material was neither fresh or subtle. And he doesn't come accross at all as likeable, (like Chris Rock) something I look for in comics. I do not reccomend bying this DVD.

Hysterical.......2003-07-23

We watched the show when it aired on Comedy Central and missed the first 10 minutes. ... This has got to be one of the funniest stand-up routines I've ever seen. David Alan Grier's comedy is right up there with classic George Carlin, Bill Cosby and Eddie Murphy stand-up comedy.
