Forget James Brown; Joan Rivers is the hardest
working person in show business, and has been for a long while. If you want to
know why she’s so driven, watch the fascinating 2010 documentary Joan Rivers: A
Piece of Work for a behind the scenes look at what it takes for Joan to put
together an act (not to mention her face). If all you want to see is the end
product, then you can’t do better than watch this 69-minute set of classic, raunchy
Rivers material. The show is a mixed bag of insults and insights as Rivers
makes fun of her fellow celebrities, her audience and, most of all, herself.
Some of the jokes are old, like her Michael Jackson material, and some of it
feels inspired on the spot. All of it, if you like the woman’s comic styling,
is funny.
