Richard Pryor: Here and Now is a 1983 Grammy nominated comedy album[1] based on the film Richard Pryor: Here and Now.[2]
Critical reception
[edit]Steve Newton of The Georgia Straight wrote, "If you can put up with Pryor's consistently crude language, Here and Now is good for plenty of laughs. And his alter-ego, Mudbone, puts in an appearance as well. Could quite possibly be the comedy album of '83."[3]
Box set reissue
[edit]In 2025, Here and Now was reissued along with a box set of Richard Pryor's comedy albums by Rhino Entertainment.[4][5]
From Rhino's press release of the box set, it states: "Recorded when Pryor was clean and sober for the first time since he was 14 years old, the Grammy-nominated release saw the comic riffing on the trials of fame, meeting President Reagan, and the trials and tribulations of being a married man."[4]
