That’s my girl Joan. I’ve never met her but as a youngster, I first saw her on the Johnny Carson Show and have been in love with her ever since. I seen her shows in Atlantic City, NJ, I own every piece of jewelry she sold on QVC, I even taped all her QVC shows and til this day, I still have them on VHS. When she died, I felt as if my best friend died. May your memory be a blessing and I think it has been.♥️
I had a chance to see Joan live, and didn't go for whatever reason. I wish I had. What a force of nature, hysterically funny, and so hard to believe we've been without her nearly 10 years.
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.
My favorite Joan joke used Sheila too: “all I ever heard growing up was “why can’t you be like your cousin Sheila?” “why can’t you be like your cousin Sheila?”- Sheila had died at birth. Destroys me every time.
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.
As a person and a hostess she was gracious and kind, she would wait on her guests to make them welcome and comfortable, of course dressed to the nines.
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.
Joan rivers can even make death funny total genius! I cried at the end when she talked about her hubby. RIP Joan the world was a better place with you in it.
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. ❤
@@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.
@@kevinwilson3609 She was still an amazing comedienne and wrote her own jokes. The world would be better off if she was still here today - she’s the perfect antidote to the meanness, spite and hatred popping up all around the world. Imagine Putin, Zelensky and the Ayatollah laughing their heads off (if that is possible -it would certainly end the wars immediately) and deciding that laughter sounds better than missiles and bombs.
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. 🥰
So glad our English cousins loved Joan Rivers , the English , so glad they were laughing and enjoying Joan --have so much respect for the English , love them….
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
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.
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.
Simple music can make you sing simple hug can make you feel better simple things can make you happy, i hope my simple Hello brings smile to your face...
@@margaretr5701 She probably would have sorted them out in the first 5 minutes. By the end of the show they might have learnt that laughing is more fun and healthier than being offended.
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.
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 😁🔥
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!
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 🎉
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.
Joan was a unique funny funny lady with a quick sharp wit like no other. Glad I was alive during her “time”. How far she brought us in comedy. When I was young I was shocked by her, now that I’m old I realize what she said ….. it’s all true. Thank you Joan for all the laughs over decades. I hope she’s Resting In Peace, but I doubt it, she’s tearing it up ! 👍🏻🤣❤️
She is the funniest person I’ve ever heard. I have watched her videos over and over, I already know the jokes, and I still laugh out loud with her. I love Joan and truly miss her!
Did I see the great Ronnie Corbett laughing in the audience at 12:46? That’s proof of a real talented comic, when all the other comics come to your show.
Loved her Braveness and she worked so hard ...R.I.P. Joan ..you said so much what a lot of of could think if we could find the words and humour you had ..and got away with it of course .
I always loved how Joan could take a sad or difficult moment and make us laugh,it's so sad now to see how people can no longer share laughter,she was a genius at wat she did,gone but her memorable moments live on,I wish if we had more joy now than all the hate and war that's prevailing now.

SUCH TALENT, SUCH WISDOM, SUCH CLASS. TODAY'S COMEDY IS NOTHING COMPARED TO HER
That’s my girl Joan. I’ve never met her but as a youngster, I first saw her on the Johnny Carson Show and have been in love with her ever since.

When she died, I felt as if my best friend died. May your memory be a blessing and I think it has been.♥️
When she died I felt like I had lost a family member. She touched people deeply
I do too, and her clothing line QVC
Awww Joan ….we still miss you so much!
I was there. She was utterly magnificent. Much missed.
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.
She was my favorite Female Comedian, nonstop laughter.😅
🤥
You lucky bastard! 😂
Absolutely loved her
I have laughed and laughed and laughed…..thank you so much for posting this. And that ending was amazing.
She's amazing!
I had a chance to see Joan live, and didn't go for whatever reason. I wish I had. What a force of nature, hysterically funny, and so hard to believe we've been without her nearly 10 years.
No one has come close to her talent, honesty and beautiful timing. Really miss her!
Joan will always be my favorite comic 🥰
Wow, thanks a mill for posting this treasure …. One of the best stand-ups I’ve ever seen!!!
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.
Lol!
hahahahahaha, brilliant!!!

@@matthewbermudez5105, Yes, I like that one too.
😂
The last 2/3 minutes of this show is the most real I’ve ever seen Joan. RIP beautiful lady!
that was so sad 😭
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.
Not true. Melissa didn't speak to Joan for 2 years after the suicide
@@mikieanthony777 Who were you responding to??
@@Onigirli, a comment that was removed
The Julie Andrews joke kills me every time.. I love it that even she can't get through it with a straight face ! She's Such a genius ... so missed !!
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.
Deffo...❤❤❤
Well you are here to still hear her…think about those who arent 😢
Ms. Rivers never lost her quick wit. Her brain was a spit fire
As a person and a hostess she was gracious and kind, she would wait on her guests to make them welcome and comfortable, of course dressed to the nines.
she worked it
Oh my God! I am soooooo glad someone uploaded this in such wonderful quality! Thank you!

She made a comment to a reporter about Michelle Obama that was less than flattering.Hmmm?
She knew too much. #BigMike#IYKYK
@@a.schottinthedark57 I was about to say something along the same lines!!
Haven't laughed this much in years 😂 I miss this woman 😭
I miss her as well.

That ending was spectacular
Yes indeed. I really dislike how she ended... :-(
I was weeping because I knew how very much she loved him.
Thank you for uploading. Can’t help but cry my eyes out at the end. 😢
Miss this woman. What she’d make of wokesters of now! She’d have sorted it all out
As old as she was, Joan had a ton of energy!
Joan rivers can even make death funny total genius! I cried at the end when she talked about her hubby. RIP Joan the world was a better place with you in it.
So courageous. 👏👏👏
She had guts and told the truth @@cindymaceda2999
I miss you Ms Rivers. You were truly a gift from God for humanity. Rest in peace.

The best comedian who ever lived! She tells it all! RIP Joan!
I wonder if she mostly improvised. She was very fast.

@@moonshinesa8234 nothing I said was a criticism
Laughter is the best medicine. Thank you Dr. Rivers. I really needed you today
This women was so inteligent and witty

Joan, you are missed and Loved. xxxx. 🥰
Ah yes Joan Rivers, the champion of old fat blokes without mirrors everywhere!
I had no idea she was this funny! What a legend, honestly. Start to finish, pure gold
So glad our English cousins loved Joan Rivers , the English , so glad they were laughing and enjoying Joan --have so much respect for the English , love them….
How couldn't they loved her if she was the Best!!!
Truly the best. So incredibly smart with her comedy
english people LOVE these type of humor
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
Joan performed in Britain and Ireland for decades. She even had her own chatshow; once in the 80s and once in the 00s.
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.
There were hardly any wonen comedians in the 80s.Trailblazer.
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.
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
She would have made mincemeat of the Sussexes - a truly brilliant lovely ❤ comedienne❤. A bright light over the world cruelly taken
Now that's what I call COMEDY 😂
What a touchingly funny finale. Brilliant!
yes i was taken by then had tears running down my face i miss joan so much .
Nobody makes me laugh like her. I miss her so much!
CLASS and BALLS! And the hardest worker ever ❤️
Wow. Thank you so much for this. Laughed the whole way through and ended up crying at the end. Love her!!!
Me too.
Simple music can make you sing simple hug can make you feel better simple things can make you happy, i hope my simple Hello brings smile to your face...
I miss her. She was one of a kind.
Joan Rivers is eternal. 😇👏😁🙏💐👍👏♥️
One of a kind, miss her terribly!! And that last part… makes me tear up every time and great remind why laughter is very important.
RIP, Joan. And now RIP Dane Edna, both extraordinary comedians. 🙏
I am literally crying 😂 I almost forgot how hilarious and naughty she was. ❤ this has made my day
she was so wonderful. a great loss
Miss this wonderful lady. I do wonder how she'd fare in today's easily offended, pc society.
@@margaretr5701 She probably would have sorted them out in the first 5 minutes. By the end of the show they might have learnt that laughing is more fun and healthier than being offended.
What a fantastic woman! I miss her so much. The very best of the best!
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.
Regret: never seeing her live
Always and forever, the Queen of Comedy.
OMG, miss her, miss her. A unique talent!!
Amazing. We miss you Joan. You are the best. ❤
Jimmy Carr is good with the zingers like Joan was.❤
This woman was genius!
The world is sadder without her. An amazing, fabulous and brave woman ❤
Has anyone watched her And Melissa on Hulu? It’s fantastic,you laugh you cry ... she was one of a kind.. yes TRULY MISSED
I love her and miss you Joan Rivers ❤️ She was hilarious 😂 😂
What a loss of wonderful talent 😢she was old school and new never to be replaced but she still makes every one laugh 😂❤
I think I’ve seen this hundreds of times and I still laugh! Gone too soon
I'll never stop missing Joan.
There's just nobody like her, miss her from this world.
She had a filter, but she let most of it sail through as comedy. That's what made Joan Rivers so magnificent.
That ending killed me. As someone who has tried to commit suicide back in my teens, I totally felt that! Love you Joan! You are missed!
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 😁🔥
Thank you for the upload!
I miss these older comics
They rocked
I can always get a belly laugh
Women dancing with Urns😆. Politically Incorrect in every way..Miss you Joan❤❤
Haven't laughed this much in years I miss this woman . Always and forever, the Queen of Comedy..
Since I was a little girl I've been amazed at how classy she always looked and how she was so hysterical!
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!
So glad I came across this 😂😂😂I miss her from Fashion Police no one could do it like her. Rest young old lady 😂❤
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 🎉
Never a dull moment with Joan. Such a great loss for the world. We missed you so dearly Joan.
What a smart fast intelligent lady , miss you Joan
Her last joke here made me cry and laugh at the same time. Wonderful, talented, kind, generous, one of a kind class act. She's beyond missed. ❤😢
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.
“Yeah I remember Mark, I remember Mark when he looked normal” lol 😂 gets me every time! She’s the best!
This woman was one funny talented human her work and talent will live on .thanks Joan for all the laughs.x
I couldn't stop laughing! Thanks for that, Joan. You are greatly missed.
She was One of a Kind. She made us laugh at ourselves because she told everybody what we were thinking.
This lady was absolutely hilarious
Her talents were over the roofs!! A true legend
I’m such a fan of such brilliance and wit! 😱
What a phenomenal woman she was. Absolutely magnificent. ❤
Rest in peace dear Joan Rivers, I grew up watching you, nobody is better than you and we all know it….darn real but seriously funny ❤

Famous for years and relevant until the end. I miss her witty comedy and how hard she would make me laugh. RIP Joan
She and Betty White were one of a kind
Loved her Braveness and she worked so hard ...R.I.P. Joan ..you said so much what a lot of of could think if we could find the words and humour you had ..and got away with it of course .
That was absolutely amazing Joan ❤❤❤
One of the musicians actually looked up to see if there was really a mirror!😮😅😂
I love her so much! Make laugh always when I feel down!
I absolutely lost it when she said "she ODed on dandruff" who thinks of shit like that 😅😅😅

Love this special super funny RIP Joan OUTSTANDING SHOW
Let’s count them together 1 2 3 4 5 and a f***ing mirror lol
I think out of all her stand ups this one was the best, sense of humor matches with the audience. ❤🎉

Seeing her live on my trip to NYC was one of the best things I've ever done in my life. So talented and quick.... I miss her wit to this day.
Joan, how dare you leave us
"you call those feathers?" 😂😂
the last bit is magnificent! how incredible she switched the tragedy to the comedy, trully legend!
