An Audience With Joan Rivers (TV Special 2006)

Aired in 2006.
The shockingly controversial, outrageous, and wickedly funny comedienne performing live in front of a celebrity audience.

[@maudeboggins9834]

Ms. Rivers never lost her quick wit. Her brain was a spit fire

[@richardshelton2404]

I was there. She was utterly magnificent. Much missed.

[@narrativemode]

I doubt you'll remember but did they cut a lot of things out? I'm assuming they filmed much longer than 50 mins and edited it down for TV at the time.

[@leroyepps1146]

She was my favorite Female Comedian, nonstop laughter.😅

[@blackmaxbranning3666]

🤥

[@chartaiwan]

You lucky bastard! 😂

[@elizabethcraig7093]

Absolutely loved her

[@limeyosu2000]

Joan rivers can even make death funny total genius! I almost cried at the end when she talked about her hubby. RIP Joan

[@cindymaceda2999]

So courageous. 👏👏👏

She had guts and told the truth @@cindymaceda2999

[@mickyboy20]

The last 2/3 minutes of this show is the most real I’ve ever seen Joan. RIP beautiful lady!

[@bullsharkTM]

that was so sad 😭

[@jordanhuegel6928]

I have never seen that side of her. You could hear the pain in her voice, I felt so bad. She is a legend ❤ and very missed.

[@mikieanthony777]

Not true. Melissa didn't speak to Joan for 2 years after the suicide

Haven't laughed this much in years 😂 I miss this woman 😭

[@ClarityDetermination]

I miss her as well.

[@ricardogonzalez3181]

She’s deeply missed. Growing up this woman taught me how to laugh. I love dark humor thanks to her. She didn’t let anyone slide not even herself or her daughter and I love that about her! She knew life was too short.

I have laughed and laughed and laughed…..thank you so much for posting this. And that ending was amazing.

[@ellenkaufman7573]

She's amazing!

[@nicolepeltz8992]

No one has come close to her talent, honesty and beautiful timing. Really miss her!

[@redneon06]

As old as she was, Joan had a ton of energy!

[@Tya2019]

Now that's what I call COMEDY 😂

[@williamprimavera6483]

I first saw her in a divey bar off Sixth Avenue before she became famous....in 1963...and I still remember one of her jokes about how she knew childbirth was painful...that her cousin Shiela screamed and screamed and was heard all over the neighborhood..........and that was just during conception.

[@tonicutrone8640]

Lol!

[@Justwalkandgoahead]

hahahahahaha, brilliant!!!

[@basvanderhoek9293]

She was so clever, and isn't it strange that after all the surgery she had, she died of a rather simple procedure done in a doctors office. I am 75, I have known her since I was allowed to listen to people that dropped the F bomb. Loved her ever since. And the last minute of her show, that was worth gold, and it was real. Thanks for having this on you tube, Sincerely, Bas Vancouver BC.

[@lisamccarthy6969]

Deffo..legend❤❤❤❤

[@schmittyconstanz]

She made a comment to a reporter about Michelle Obama that was less than flattering.Hmmm?

I miss her. She was one of a kind.

[@idgriffin56]

This woman was genius!

[@davidharris241]

I miss her so much. Hadn't seen this performance before and it just reminds me what a genius she was, as well as a truly decent human. She's not just 'an act', she's a class-act all the way.

[@johnlingfield3616]

She said it like it is no bullshit straight from the shoulder to many people have been indoctrinated by society,,; Not this lady shes idiosyncratic

[@margaretgodfrey2631]

She would have made mincemeat of the Sussexes - a truly brilliant lovely ❤ comedienne❤. A bright light over the world cruelly taken

[@DaveAlan]

The best comedian who ever lived! She tells it all! RIP Joan!

[@pardus5045]

I wonder if she mostly improvised. She was very fast.

[@kevinwilson3609]

@@pardus5045 Absolutely none of it is improvised. She wrote the jokes, perfected them, and performed them. She usually had cards on the stage in front of her to keep it going.

[@raylewis2121]

Regret: never seeing her live

[@stone5015]

I miss you Ms Rivers. You were truly a gift from God for humanity. Rest in peace.

Laughter is the best medicine. Thank you Dr. Rivers. I really needed you today

I am literally crying 😂 I almost forgot how hilarious and naughty she was. ❤ this has made my day

[@Kimllg88]

she was so wonderful. a great loss

[@margaretr5701]

Miss this wonderful lady. I do wonder how she'd fare in today's easily offended, pc society.

[@jamesb821]

I had the absolute pleasure of seeing her on what would be her final stand up tour, I’ve honestly never laughed so hard in my life, my sides acred for days after. A comic genius.

[@WILLIAM1690WALES]

Joan Rivers, the Great Great late Joan Rivers. My favourite all-time female comics she was professional. She was too hard-working and unafraid. I loved all that.

[@PinkNarcissus87]

Oh my God! I am soooooo glad someone uploaded this in such wonderful quality! Thank you!

Thank you for uploading. Can’t help but cry my eyes out at the end. 😢

[@FannyLerouxTime]

There's just nobody like her, miss her from this world.

[@tonihoger590]

RIP, Joan. And now RIP Dane Edna, both extraordinary comedians. 🙏

[@paultaylor4941]

She had a filter, but she let most of it sail through as comedy. That's what made Joan Rivers so magnificent.

[@mrquiron2995]

Amazing. We miss you Joan. You are the best. ❤

How couldn't they loved her if she was the Best!!!

[@Jacobpdx]

Truly the best. So incredibly smart with her comedy

[@the_darkhorse1826]

english people LOVE these type of humor

[@BroadwayBabyyy744]

Plus she had a connection...Edgar was British...England and Europe had a special place in her heart. Her dry, vulgar humor was the type they crave over there

[@DIETRICHCICCONE]

Joan performed in Britain and Ireland for decades. She even had her own chatshow; once in the 80s and once in the 00s.

[@animalyze7120]

JOan was that old school comedian who would relish the times poor hecklers would take a shot thinking they were clever and the end up totally roasted. A true Gem still one of the best!

[@vickijohnson264]

Since I was a little girl I've been amazed at how classy she always looked and how she was so hysterical!

[@Jazzmaineyall]

That was absolutely amazing Joan ❤❤❤

[@androidangel787]

"you call those feathers?" 😂😂

[@claylexander6171]

It was only this dynamite of a little lady that could get away with this kind of controversial humour 😅 They tried to cancel her many times tho, but she refused to change her act and to go down without a fight. A real tour de force of pure unadulterated blasphemous, self deprecating humour 🤣 Love you and miss you, Joan 😁🔥

[@tonicutrone8640]

She was such a hoot, so darn honest….love seeing these old routines. In retrospect her talking and making jokes about death, and she died by accident 😢 Joan you were one of a kind. You are missed 🎉

[@harrymeepharry]

Wow. Thank you so much for this. Laughed the whole way through and ended up crying at the end. Love her!!!

There will never be another like her! Hail the Queen of Comedy. She is testament to the utmost of wit. Sadly, the Generation Z confused fools would not understand just how brilliant she is. They are too busy being offended by anybody who tells it like it is! Joan, you are missed and Loved. xxxx. 🥰

Everyone has an imaginary monologue that sounds just like Joan Rivers but will never admit it. Joan did and she became very successful because of it. We’ll never see the likes of her again.

We Miss You a Lot

[@GoldenCelebs]

Is there anyone out there still on the hunt for Joan's videos, indulging in them even now? Extend your arm, if you dare. A rare gem among comedians, her later acts outshone her early ones in hilarity. Despite reaching her 80s before her untimely departure, she left behind an irreplaceable void. ❤
