No way Rufus is dead....He has been in some of my all time favorite films, (Not including the Bill and Ted films.)

I have never seen his stand up routines, honestly are they worth watching?

lol
Well he is a comedian. Rufus? That' s like saying I love Shaq in Steel, I never saw him play Basketball though. Is he any good?

His cameos in other films only have significance because he' s a legendary comedian.

So to answer your question, yes his stand up is worth watching. I gave a few examples from his shows.

Damn it this sucks.

I love his stand up some of the best I' ve ever seen.

Well like he himself said at least he wasn' t an old fart but an old fuck.

He isn' t going to heaven, that' s for sure.

Anyway, I really liked him and he was one of the best stand-up comedians in my opinion. Never saw any movie he participated in, though.

I thought the title said GEORGE CLINTON, I don' t care what anyone says, that guy produced some funky shit.

I don' t care about George Carlin though.

Meh, he was a better Rufus than a comedian. He' s not all that funny to me. Bill Hicks did it better, and without pretending to be black.

Shame that he' s dead though.
