Review of Joan Rivers: A Piece of Work (2010) by Brenton A — 23 Aug 2011

This hair-raising, thought-stealing tale of obsession, depression and recession made my penis curl, uncurl and whirl. A fascinating insight into one of comedy's few golden girls, A Piece Of Work captures Joan at her most vulnerable off-stage dealing with her finances and trying to get work as well as her most invincible, as one of the most witty and edgy performers that has defied her critics and broken the boundaries for over 50 years.
