Free Music Notes for Be-Be's KidsFree Music Review: This Man Was FUNNY!!
This is quite possibly the funniest stand-up routine I've ever heard! This classic recording made from 2 separate performances in late 1989 and early 90 shows Robin Harris at the top of his game and reminds me of the genius we lost far too soon to heart failure. Harris comes out punching before the first bell, berating an audience member about his weight and eating habits, leading into an all out attack on fat people and overeaters thats so politically incorrect it ought to be against the law! His next bit about streey beggars is even funnier (..."don't you hate to get gas? brotha' man, brotha man!") and will have gasping for breathe at his reply to strangers asking for money. Another highlight of this white-hot set is his description of how Blacks are treated on Airlines, and even includes a bit on "people with Q-Tips on thier heads" flying on airplanes and "hijacking us" which now, in the aftermath of Sept.11, sounds even more relevant than a decade ago when this was recorded, how creepy is that? There's really not a wasted moment on "BeBe's Kids", even when the pace lags a little in the final 3rd, Harris' interaction with the audience keeps things funny and his method of handling hecklers is brilliant, profane and hysterical. Not for the fainthearted or easily offended, this live performance still stands as a testament to the late Robin Harris' genius. Indespensible.
