Eddie Murphy returning to Stand-Up
24 May 2010
'Shrek' funnyman Eddie Murphy is planning a long awaited return to Stand-Up Comedy.
The 'Shrek' star’s 1983 concert 'Delirious' is considered a classic stand up show, but he hasn’t returned to the stage in 20 years.
He said, "Within the last six months or so, I started getting an itch to do it again. I started writing stuff. I was like, 'I could go and do 15, 20 minutes right now. Maybe in a couple of months I'll start working out again'. But it'll take a year before I'm ready to go on the road. It's gonna take at least a year to get the rust off, 20 years of rust."
Before becoming a famous film star, Murphy was one of the world’s top comics.
