. HBO Home Entertainment presents the hottest stand-up comedy DVD of Christmas 2009 with the release of the eagerly anticipated Chris Rock: Kill the Messenger on 16 November. This essential live comedy DVD will be topping everyone's wish lists.
Chris Rock: Kill the Messenger features the international superstar in a triumphant, all-new stand-up comedy event that cuts together footage from three different performances, at the Carling Apollo Hammersmith in London, South Africa's Carnival City Casino and New York's legendary Apollo Theatre. Chris said of the comedy event "I wanted to do the type of stand-up special that I've never seen before".
If you were unlucky enough not to secure a ticket to his sold-out UK live shows last year now is your chance to catch the comedic genius of 'The funniest man in America' and one of the 'top 100 most influential people in the world' according to Time magazine. If you were one of the lucky ones to catch him live, you'll want to relive that moment time and again on DVD.
Never afraid to say the unthinkable, Rock is brave and challenging but classy and laugh-out-loud hilarious. This innovative and fast paced show covers topical issues from Race; can a white person ever use the 'N' Word? Why a black First Lady is more ground-breaking than a black President and the rules of the interracial posse. On Sex and Relationships; Chris states that it's hard being a man, as no-one cares, he also answers the question of what women want, throwing in an uproariously scathing attack on Desperate Housewives and examines the many differences between men and women.
Other issues under the side-splitting microscope include Consumerism; how we're now paying for things we used to get for free (water in a bottle?) and the complexities of the English Language; how bad words are not bad, it's just the context in which they're used, which Rock deftly demonstrates.
One of the most viewed personalities on YouTube, Rock recently set a Guinness World Record on The No Apologies Tour by playing to crowds of 15,900 at the O2, marking the largest audience for a stand-up comedy performance in British history. Chris performed on his last world tour to 554,781 people at 141 shows across 4 Continents and 8 Countries proving his international comedy credentials that transcend cultures.
The New York Times has described Rock as "probably the funniest and smartest comedian working today," while The Washington Post championed him as "a brilliant comic, a cheering presence, a humble star," noting that "his comedy is full of intelligence, impudence and take-no-prisoners social comment."
Chris Rock: Kill the Messenger follows three other HBO specials also on DVD, including 2004's Emmy®-nominated Never Scared, 2000's Emmy®-nominated Bigger & Blacker and the groundbreaking 1996 Emmy® winner Bring the Pain. His Emmy®-winning HBO late-night talk show The Chris Rock Show garnered critical raves and is also available on DVD.
The multitalented Rock has won three Emmys® and three Grammys, and recently starred on the big screen in I Think I Love My Wife, as well as contributing his voice to the animated hits Bee Movie and Madagascar. In 2005, Rock created and narrated the critically acclaimed series Everybody Hates Chris, based on his childhood experiences.
Chris Rock burst onto the scene in 1989, spending three years as a cast member of Saturday Night Live. He has starred in the films Head of State, which marked his directorial debut, The Longest Yard, Bad Company, with Anthony Hopkins, Down to Earth, Nurse Betty, with Morgan Freeman, Dogma, directed by Kevin Smith, Boomerang, and New Jack City. In addition, his 1997 book Rock This was a New York Times best seller.
Legendary producer-director Marty Callner's previous credits include comedy specials starring Dane Cook, Jerry Seinfeld, Robin Williams, George Carlin and Whoopi Goldberg as well as live shows for Justin Timberlake, Britney Spears and Cher.

Jerusalem Competition
The book Jerusalem is an intricately woven tale of Englishness from many perspectives – young and old, black and white, urban and rural, British and African, past and present. Unfailingly relevant and politically astute, it is also a moving and witty take on contemporary identity that follows many of the themes of Neate’s previous work. Indeed, several of the characters from Musungu Jim and the Whitbread winner, Twelve Bar Blues, reappear in Jerusalem.
The track Jerusalem is currently getting airplay on several urban radio stations. Borrowing from William Blake’s iconic poem, the satirical song is a poke at contemporary British life, set against a funky electro melody and an infectious bassline.
The hilarious video that accompanies the track sees Nobody and crew kidnap The Queen and take her on a tour of the real British way of life. Viewers follow Nobody (and Liz) on a tour of the chip shop, Somerfield and local pub.
The book Jerusalem is published by Penguin on the July 2, 2009.

she puts her ambitions on hold to help her brother Joel (John Reardon)
keep the family’s auto-shop open. When her routine fails to impress
at a long-awaited audition with the Chicago School of Music & Dance,
Lauryn is dejected. Unable to face Joel and her spirit broken, she decides
to stay in Chicago. She moves in with a dancer friend of hers who manages
to get her a bookkeeping job in a local burlesque club. One night when
the club is closed, Lauryn turns on the music and begins to dance. Alone
and uninhibited, she at last feels free. However, it turns out that
stumbling across the scene accidentally is the club’s DJ Russ (Riley
Smith), himself no stranger to unfulfilled dreams. When one of the dancing
girls leaves, Russ reveals to the club owner Brenda (Karen LeBlanc)
that Lauryn has the moves. Much to her annoyance at first, it seems
that Lauryn might just be thrust into the limelight after all….
