DVD Reviews of Kate Clinton: The 25th Anniversary Tour
DVD Review: Well-Honed Comedy for a Wide Audience
Summary: 4 Stars
While this DVD celebrates Kate Clinton's 25-years of doing stand-up comedy from a lesbian perspective, its humor is broad-based (pun realized afterwards). Almost everyone will be able to relate to this material and will be able to laugh. That includes younger people, for whom I don't think the "Parental Permission" label on the cover is quite warranted. There is a little bit of swearing in one segment and some references to Clinton's physical relationships, but this is generally as family-friendly as stand-up comedy gets these days.
Which does not mean it isn't incisive and hip. For example, Clinton satirizes the overload of bells and whistles that now come with what should be our most straightforward utilities. She comments on how she answered her cell phone - and took a picture of her inner ear.
There's also a lot of political commentary, but its more the kind that slips its criticisms under the door rather than crashing them through. For example, Clinton exhorts the audience to be sure to look their best when they step outside. With all the Government's surveillance cameras monitoring our appearance, she reminds "no big stripes, no plaids."
This is a well-crafted, thinking person's stand-up act that Clinton apparently changes often to call to account society's latest absurdities.
Her routine is interspersed here with congratulations from celebrities and others whom her pioneering performances inspired to come out of the closet over the last 25 years. Some of these interjected kudos are not as interesting as Clinton's act itself. However, you will want to view this DVD all the way through in order to catch Lily Tomlin's clever, closing rhyming rap testimonial to Clinton's talent.
