Steve Martin, in his early days, was perhaps the funniest American comedian in the world. His sensational 70's stand-up work, much of which is unavailable now, were some of the greatest pieces in stand-up history. Happily, this collection of Martin pieces, taken from his time at "Saturday Night Live", is a fine DVD compilation of Martin at his surreal best.
Opening with a hilarious monologue in which Martin plays the banjo, sticks an arrow through his head, jumps maniacally, and tries to suck a stool into his lungs using a straw, it soon becomes clear that you will get your money's worth.
The video "Steve Martin-Live!", which contains rare footage from his seminal 70's shows, is sadly unreleased on DVD, but this package more than makes up for that loss by providing not only around half an hour of stand up but also truly classic Steve Martin sketches, which although seem dated compared to his stand-up monologues, still manage to pack in more than a few laughs.
Get this DVD and see Steve Martin at his wild and crazy best!
