Sam Kinison: Breaking the Rules
A high-octane stand-up comedy special built on aggressive yelling and irreverent humor that mines dark subject matter—marriage, drugs, religion, legal trouble—for laughs without sentimentality.
This is a great performance. Through yelling and energetic story-telling, he talks about marriage, drugs, being arrested (thanks to his ex-wife), pleasing women, religion, and much, much more.
