Routine comedy routine, time-capsulized for eternity. A dramatized prologue is tacked on to the documented concert, showing a precocious little Eddie telling a dirty joke at the Murphy family's Thanksgiving gathering in 1968. Twenty years later in a New York City concert hall he's no longer precocious, but really quite backwards: an adolescent in childhood and still an adolescent as an adult — and depressingly proud of it, too. Directed (how so?) by Robert Townsend. (1987) — Duncan Shepherd
