Amazon.co.uk Review
Sharper and deeper than Robin Williams's previous road material, Live on Broadway is a mature comedian's view of all things to do with power, prejudice and paranoia in the 21st century. On the anthrax scare of 2001: "The Senate cleared out of their building but told the rest of us 'Get on with your normal lives'!" On his solution to the Israeli-Palestinian conflict over Jerusalem: "Time share!" On the pitfalls of America's deepening alliance with Britain: "The House of Commons is like Congress with a two-drink minimum". A viewer may have to slog through Williams's tedious breast fetishism, but patience is quickly rewarded with bitchy takes on Martha Stewart facing prison, solid satire about French existentialist judges at the Olympics and subversive op-eds about the Bush administration's inability to clarify terrorist threats to the public ("Has the CIA become the Central Intuitive Agency?"). --Tom Keogh

5.0 out of 5 stars A fantastic peice of work, 14 Nov 2003
By Ramesh Bhayani (South Croydon, Surrey United Kingdom) - See all my reviews
Williams is on top form here. He makes fun of just about everybody and everything, from the Scottish to the Brazillians, from Micheal Jackson to George B and Tony B.
If you are easily offended and are looking for clean humor, this one is not for you. On the other hand if you are looking for pure talent and a well of one liners, then this is highly recommended.

5.0 out of 5 stars We Bow Before You Master Robin, 31 May 2003
Robin Williams is unique. This sentence should do to summarize my all review. Robin Williams is a rare actor. Robin Williams is absolutely magnificent! Robin Williams is entertaining you for about two and half hours full of laugh, strange body expressions and fantastic noises impressions. Warning, possible stomachache during the all comedy process. Robin Williams curses all the time. Robin Williams gives you academic teaching about several matters, how golf was born…eheh. Warning, Scottish descendents may find this extremely enlightening. Probably it will give them ideas for the next sport to be invented. Robin Williams demonstrates cleverness in its being and intelligence in its improvisation. Robin Williams is a joke machine, he sweats like a pig, but no short circuit is enabling. The amount of bottles of water that he uses for “refueling” is as impressive as his jokes are!
Robin Williams is…Robin Williams.
The DVD features an interview with Robin Williams and Marty Caliner, the director of the Show “Live On Broadway”, a behind the scenes and an incredible Easter Egg, that will make you laugh ‘till your mouth starts burning and your facial muscles star aching.
This is by far one of the most valuable DVDs of my huge collection.
Since I’ve bought it 14 visualizations weren’t enough. Stand Up Comedy at it’s best!

5.0 out of 5 stars Manic, Mad, Marvellous.....Must Have !!!!!!, 24 April 2003
By A Customer
Ok..So I was in my hotel room in the USA in July flicking through the channels. I get to HBO and Robin Williams has just walked onto the stage, so being a fan of his work I decide to watch.
What followed was one of the best stand up sets I've seen in a long time. It's difficult to tell you what Williams covers in this video because he talks about everything ! Religion, Anthrax, World Cup, Bush, War, Fake breasts and so much more. If you ever seen him interviewed you know how manic he is...on stage he's like a hurricane. You feel tired just watching him.

Slight word of warning though, It does help if you have a brief knowledge of current American culture as some of the references may pass you by. However don't let this worry you because I gurantee you that during the 2 hour set you will find something that will make you laugh.

Fantastic !
