Eddie Murphy Raw

Eddie Murphy Raw (1987) is a stand-up concert film you can watch online on iFILM. At 26, Murphy walked onto a Madison Square Garden stage and delivered 93 minutes of material that redefined what comedy could get away with.

Directed by Robert Townsend, the film is no-frills by design: one spotlight, one man, one unrelenting hour and a half. Murphy goes after his own divorce proceedings, fires back at Bill Cosby's public criticism of his act, does celebrity impressions, and runs hard at sex, money and marriage with a confidence that bordered on reckless. There is no warm-up, no easing in. He's at full speed from the first minute.

Raw went on to become one of the highest-grossing concert films in American box-office history. Stream Eddie Murphy Raw (1987) on iFILM.
