[@fortunateadventures3664]

One of his Best Shows,back in the day.

[@vnssalas3368]

His characters are so funny and outrageous, but so endearing because he humanizes them. On the surface level they are unlovable but really tap into the heart. This man relates different life experiences to everyone.

[@adrianniemiec8669]

Some times I find a diamond in this mud of KZbin. Subscribed, brother.

[@erikkibler3466]

What an awkward way to word that🤣

[@mattbernabe]

What a great way to spend my Saturday night. Thank you so much for this! I've been wanting to see this for years. I've mainly seen "Manny the Fanny" and that's been it. I've always wanted to see this special in it's entirety. Thanks again. In my opinion, Leguizamo is one of the most gifted and master storytellers to ever grace the stage.

[@wassupwithlordbuckly1218]

It was a great show and a great run.

[@pittypatterputzzler5311]

Thank you for this marvel, enjoyment is a hundred percent right here.

[@deepal3721]

[@tessamaxwell5560]

I love John Leguizsmo.He is so gifted and a talented actor.Watching this stand up has influenced me to want to do a one woman show. I want him to direct it.I am not a comedian.One day I was in Hawthorne walking down the street.As I turned the corner.I seen John get into a little red sports car.As I walked by I said good afternoon.He got into the car.As he turned the corner.Mr Legiuizsmo says have a great day.Stay beautiful.I remember as I walked passed him his eyes followed me and stopped.I knew who he was but as a child growing up around Celebs I did not want him to feel uncomfortable.I never forgot that day.Mr.Leguizamo I am Marshall Mathers Fiancee.Im looking forward to working with you.Watching this has cleared up my writer's block.Im doing some waiting for Marshall.As soon as he is ready I will be ready.Meanwhile I will get to writing..See you soon! God bless you and your family.Stat safe,stay blessed.I still watch all your movies over and over again.

[@sharondrury5676]

Holy cow, Mark. This is great, hilarious and unique. You are amazing.

[@paulrivaz]

This was one of those seminal Latino/Comedy productions that I saw in High School that I've been trying to find forever. Thank you!!!

[@VALENTINEproductions]

WOW finally! I haven't seen this since I was a kid.

[@Dealio09]

Awesome project, exceptional Talent. John really is one of a kind.

[@deepal3721]

[@DubiousDubyaG]

Amazing one man show, def. stands up to the test of time. Where is this kind of comedy Today?

[@FlyForAWhiteTy]

Bo Burnham was the last one and unfortunately I may be the next

[@moment2momentphotographyvi236]

I used to watch this with a stand up comedian I wrote & collaborated with. This, Sexaholik & Freak were masterclasses in stage presence and performance. Thank you for the craftmanship!

[@pittypatterputzzler5311]

Most underrated comedian and actor in the world.

[@acb723]

[@fasterman3]

Way cool Mark!

[@daniel1982641]

I wish Spic-O-Rama and Sexaholix can be uploaded on KZbin. Hell, maybe even Ghetto Klown, but I know KZbin has a lot of bullshit policies.

[@jaypalinko8220]

Ghetto klown is on

[@ginorisbaber7084]

Pure Genius !!!

[@ryangettig274]

that Island animated intro:)Island Visual Arts

[@Rupert14]

Is that animation by Ryan Larkin? If not someone totally ripped his style.

[@Rupert14]

Came to rewatch this genius Leguizamo special...but what is up with the animation in the Island promo at the beginning? Sure looks like the work of the great Ryan Larkin. Couldn't be, could it?

[@6dmafia]

NO DUCE FOR YOU JOHNNY. 1

[@bmoneyrancidfan91]

Most underrated

[@ask4theupgrade359]

He was doing transgender Manny the Fanny in the late 80’s. He took inspiration from all the diversity of NYC.

[@wassupwithlordbuckly1218]

We worked hard John and I to produce this show. He used to go over to the West Side Highway and talk to the trannies there.

[@chenieves8976]

[@litalkadosh5767]

Master actor ❤❤❤

[@pittypatterputzzler5311]

33:26 now this is a person knows how to be an actor.

[@MANZANOADRIAN]

where's spicorama

[@wassupwithlordbuckly1218]

I did not produce it.

[@jackdriver9227]

I swear he got lost in that female character 😂

[@HaerinPaul]

How did this cost $250,000 to create? 😂

[@wassupwithlordbuckly1218]

For the full production I had to rent the Orpheum Theater in NYC. Full staff. Advertising. Ran for months. This video was filmed for HBO at another theater in NY. So it's two different events.

[@HaerinPaul]

​@wassupwithlordbuckly1218 I appreciate the reply, thank you. The show was magnificent, John is amazingly talented.
