The Original Kings of Comedy achieves the seemingly impossible task of capturing the rollicking and sly comedy routines of stand-up and sitcom vets Steve Harvey, D.L. Hughley, Cedric the Entertainer, and Bernie Mac and the magic of experiencing a live concert show. Director Spike Lee and his crew plant a multitude of cameras in a packed stadium and onstage (as well as backstage, as they follow the comedians) to catch the vivid immediacy of the show, which is as much about the audience as it is about the jokes. And the jokes are funny. All four riff fast and furiously (and with much swearing) on the world in terms of race, family, sex, and in one routine, outer space. Hughley takes comedic aim at extreme sports and eating disorders, while Cedric harks back to the day when gang fights meant calling opponents out onto the dance floor. Bernie Mac, the self-confessed id comedian of the group, presents a routine that is simultaneously offensive and hilarious--an apt reminder that comedy can and should be vicious if we are ever to learn to laugh at ourselves and hopefully be the better for it. Harvey, who acts as the MC for the show, has some transcendent moments with the crowd (a '70s slow jam sing-along, anyone?) that have to be seen to be believed. There's no doubt as to why Kings was a hit with concert and movie audiences; the laughs keep coming, in the tradition of Richard Pryor and Eddie Murphy, with a sharp eye on the nuances of today's racially affected culture. --Shannon Gee

 Original Kings & Queens of Comedy October 30, 2008
S. O'N (Atlanta, Ga)
I bought it primarily because of Bernie Mac. It all would have been better if you could hear the comedians over the crowd.

The Kings of Comedy is one of the most funniest comedy tapes ever made. Everybody should have a copy of this in their library. Bernie Mac sets it off with his hilarious punchlines & true to live stories. His facial expressions will leave you in stitches. He is the funniest comedian on this DVD. Bernie has you laughing so hard, that your chest will start hurting and you can barely breath. He will have you crying. Steve Harvey is funny as well by capping on the audience and taking us down memory lane with ol school music. Cedric The Entertainer is funny as well. DL does a good job with his corny jokes. I label him as a corny comedian. This DVD is definately worth the money. Buy it. You won't be disappointed.

Recently Bernie Mac passed away and they had his memorial in Chicago, IL, where I live. I have always been a huge fan of his and was saddened to hear of his passing. I had seen this DVD sseveral times, but when I heard he had passed I just had to purchase it. I'm glad I did. The Kings and the Queens are hilarious! R.I.P. Mac man.
