On this early-career LP, Joan Rivers is as comfortable wielding the knife as she is offering a naive shrug, and the audience rewards her with explosive laughter. “Gift Coming” laughs at the difficulties of being single in the East Coast enclave of Westchester. The Mr. Phyllis story involves a wig hunt, a wig farm, and Woody Allen-esque absurdity. A familiar Joan emerges on "The Fat Girl," where she unsparingly discusses her childhood weight issues and offers one-liners worthy of the red carpet's worst-dressed celebs.
