Multi-talented comedian Eddie Murphy will return to stand up comedy.
The ‘Coming to America’ actor has promised he will make his return to comedy one day but not until the time is “right”.
Speaking in a clip from Netflix’s Jerry Seinfeld’s Comedians in Cars Getting Coffee, he said: “I’m going to do it again. Everything just has to be right. You have to get up there and start working out. Still gotta go to the comedy club.”
Eddie recently admitted he is convinced he’ll win an Oscar one day.
He said: “I have a table all ready where it would look great. I’ll wait because I’m pretty healthy, I’m gonna be around for a while and if I don’t get it then eventually when I’m 90 – what’s the one they give you just because you’ve been in the business so long? Eventually, they’re gonna have to give me that. I already did 35 years in movies, eventually y’all gonna have to give me something. And if y’all wait till I’m 85, 90, I’m gonna come out a 90-year-old dude, in a sky-blue tuxedo – there’s a reason why it’s sky blue – and I’m gonna walk out and when they give me the award and they hand it to me, I’m just gonna stand there and urinate on myself in front of the world – the whole world – and just stand there. And then they’re gonna have to play that music and then they’ll have to usher me off. That’s gonna be my moment. Don’t make me wait!”
Born Edward Regan Murphy, the 58-year-old is an American actor, comedian, and singer. Murphy was a regular cast member on Saturday Night Live from 1980 to 1984. He has worked as a stand-up comedian and was ranked #10 on Comedy Central’s list of the 100 Greatest Stand-ups of All Time.
