Delirious Eddie Murphy One-man show  

Directed by Bruce Gowers 

Produced by Eddie Murphy Robert Wachs Richard Tienken 
Written by Eddie Murphy 
Starring Eddie Murphy 

This stand-up routine was infamous for its depiction of a homosexual Mr. T, followed by a depiction of Ralph Kramden and Ed Norton as a gay couple. Though his portrayal brought on raucous applause from the audience in the performance, these comments were retracted by Eddie Murphy in an interview several years later.

The performance is also known for Murphy's making fun of James Brown's singing mannerisms, particularly the scratchy nature of Brown's voice and the nearly indecipherable nature of his lyrics. Other musical spoofs include comment on Mick Jagger's lips, Murphy's imitation of Stevie Wonder and the resultant unfavorable response from the African-American community, a spoof of Elvis Presley complete with an imitation of Presley's gait in his late years (which brought some of the performance's loudest and longest applause), a version of Teddy Pendergrass, and an imitation of Michael Jackson complete with reference to his emotional sensitivity.
