Joan Rivers : Work In Progress by a Life In Progress

A trip into the adventurous psyche of Joan Rivers can feel like a trip down memory lane on the Titanic - with one important difference: Rivers is a survivor. In her very personal new show, "Joan Rivers: A Work in Progress by a Life in Progress," she answers her own favorite question -Can we talk? Not to worry, the snarky wit and scorching tongue are still around for decoration. If anything, this might be the funniest show Rivers has ever put together. But it's also the most searching and revealing. Rivers takes us into areas she's only skimmed before, and she does it with consummate skill and audacity. A true icon.
