In this edition of Get It Out There, we salute comic genius
Richard Pryor in conjunction with BAMcinematek’s film series, A
Pryor Engagement.
Get It Out There: Comedy by BAM & IFC is a new comedy showcase
that allows comics to experiment recklessly with humor while
causing only minimal harm to themselves and others. Each event
features a handful of emerging comics testing out fresh material
and probing the depths of their twisted souls for new forms of
funny.
The wild and wired Richard Pryor ushered stories from the black underclass into public consciousness. BAMcinématek showcases his no-holds-barred concert films and legendary pairings with Bill Cosby, Gene Wilder, and others.
