One of the original Kings of Comedy, D. L. Hughley has been doing standup for more than 20 years and as this live show, taped before a wildly enthusiastic New Jersey audience, he hasn’t lost any of the edge that made him one of the best cultural commentators of our time. Hughley has a razor sharp sense of timing; watching him work the crowd is a lesson for anybody who thinks they are good enough to stand up alone on a stage and tell jokes for a living. He’s also one of the smartest stand-ups in show business, able to share his strong opinions on politics, relationships, race and a host of other topics with an audience without every talking down to them or going for a cheap laugh when he’s got something to say. He’s not the kind of comic that audiences will be quoting as they walk out of the show. He’s more the kind they will think seriously about for weeks to come.
