JOAN RIVERS
"DON'T START WITH ME"

Check your sensitivity at the Door!

Are you ready to feel the comedic wrath of Emmy® Award-winning comedian Joan Rivers?

In her brand new, live stand up DVD, the unstoppable entertainment icon is taking no prisoners and insulting anybody and everybody. Nothing is off limits and everything is fair game as Joan commands the stage with infectious energy and wit.

Like a cross between Don Rickles and Lisa Lampanelli, Rivers's insult-comic persona puts her audience directly in the crosshairs with nary an acknowledgement of how cruel it may sound to the uninitiated. Gays, ethnic minorities, the obese, the blind and even Mother Theresa get the shaft. But part of what has kept Rivers going is her ability to tune her act to the times. Her performance stamina is impressive for any age, but she can truly out-shock any shock comic with her material, which deals as breezily with child molestation as it does with Anne Frank's defiled corpse.

The conceit of Rivers's current live set is that she's dispensing with the undesirables in the audience so she can begin her "real" act. And then – surprise surprise – her time is up and she never really got to her act, having spent the whole time complaining about "the fatties and the thinnies," the Mexicans and the Chinese. Much of the humour lies not just in the calloused delivery, but the speed with which she attacks her targets. She'll climb over any and every mountain to get to a punchline, and her focus is so intense it's both scary and awesome.
