Old school comedy from Redd Foxx who made his fame from so called "blue" recording and of course his sitcom tv show.
This stand up was recorded in 1980 -- roughly 11 years before he died. He's already in rough shape, being in his early 50's and looking like 70. All out of breath, still smoking like a fiend.
The humor is less than juvenile. It's all about graphic depictions of sex, told in the lowest ways.
It's hard to believe this material was ever funny. And I'm not so sure it was, given the lack of audience. When they cut to wide shots of the audience you can plainly see that a good number of the seats toward the back and in the upper levels are empty! Guess he was no Richard Pryor.
