Mudbone (character)
Mudbone is a recurring character in Richard Pryor's stand-up shows. Debuting on the 1975 album ...Is It Something I Said?, Mudbone is easily Pryor's most famous creation.[1] A wino philosopher born in Tupelo, Mississippi,[1] his character was an alter-ego for Pryor.[2]
During Pryor's concert film, Richard Pryor: Live on the Sunset Strip, the audience begins to yell "Do Mudbone!" and Pryor reluctantly resurrects the character.[1]
