Editorial Review:
One of America's most popular comedians, Bill Cosby treats his fans to a funny, satirical and heart-warming concert at Toronto's Hamilton Place Performing Arts Center. His material ranges from marriage and the unending trials of parenthood, to the side-splitting antics of the very young, and a hilarious encounter with a dentist's drill and needle. Insightful and witty, this highly entertaining film is a rare cinematic treat, filled with all the spontaneity and electricity that only a live performance can provide.
Description of Bill Cosby, Himself:
After I Spy and before The Cosby Show, Bill Cosby left his own inimitable mark on the arena of stand-up comedy in this live concert showcasing his down-to-earth observations on the rigors and joys of family life. Cosby, using only a microphone and a chair, discusses his take on raising kids and the illogical nature of children and the futility of trying to argue with a child that in the end may be smarter than you. Notable highlights include Cosby's ruminations on the meaning of the all-purpose phrase "I don't know" to kids, and Cosby describing the effect raising children has on his wife Camille's mental state and the pitch of her voice. Containing the basis for the humor of his long-running situation comedy, Bill Cosby: Himself is a polished, occasionally insightful, and frequently hilarious night of comedy from one of the longtime masters of the form. --Robert Lane
Bill Cosby, Himself Reviews:
GOOD Comedy Rules 
2009-10-31 - I waited soooooo long for this routine to come out on DVD I had to have this as soon as I saw it. If you have never seen the Coz man in stand up you have to buy this DVD. You will pee your pants laughing at the truths of life's circumstances and how hilarious they are when seen by Bill Cosby.
Bill Costy Himself 
2009-10-17 - This DVD is exactly what I wanted as a little entertainment for a class I teach at the
college level.
Why Aren't there More of These? 
2009-09-22 - Bill Cosby is a timeless comedian, and watching him will have you rolling. I only wish more of his routines were on video instead of just on CD. His facial expressions are half the story!
Laugh till you cry 
2009-09-19 - My husband caught a little of this on TV and insisted we order the DVD for our daughter. Some of the material is dated but anyone with kids will appreciate it.
Parental Warning: May Cause Hospitalization! 
2009-09-18 - Just watched "Bill Cosby Himself" and did not stop laughing for 105 minutes!
*Parental Warning: it has been reported that some viewers who have children have needed abdominal surgery after viewing this film due to gut busting laughter.
