The Beverly Hills Cop star has revealed that he wants to do new stand-up comedy appearances once the pandemic is over.
The actor appeared on SiriusXM’s “Comedy Gold Minds with Kevin Hart” podcast on Thursday and said that if there had been no restrictions on Covid-19, he would have already made a comeback.
“Last year I would have been working on my act all the time, trying to get my sh * t right, and then the whole thing was shut down.”
He added that “when the pandemic is over and it is safe for everyone to go out and do it, the plan is to do it.”
Murphy, who turns 60 next month, began making a name for himself on the comedy circuit in the early 1980s with his Richard Pryor-inspired stand-up and often polarizing shows.
His 1987 movie “Raw” – which was filmed at Madison Square Garden in New York City – received wide release and remains the highest grossing stand-up comedy of all time, grossing over $ 50 billion.
Murphy goes on to star in “Coming 2 America”, the highly anticipated sequel to the 1988 comedy classic “Coming to America”.
The second episode, which premieres worldwide on Amazon Prime Video on Friday, follows brand new King Akeem (Eddie Murphy) as he returns to Queens, New York with his trusted confidante Semmi (Arsenio Hall) in search of his previously unknown son and heir. of the throne.
