The rude and crude and always outrageous Sam Kinison delivers a truly memorable performance in one of his final live appearances in the Outlaws of Comedy special, filmed in San Francisco circa 1990. Taking aim at a variety of subjects, this concert captures Kinison as he is well-remembered: ranting in hilarious, profanity-ridden tirades, delivered with manic energy and punctuated with his unforgettable trademark shriek. Considered Sam Kinison's worst filmed set ever.
