MELBOURNE, Wednesday, 8 December 2010: Madman proudly presents the riotous and revealing documentary, JOAN RIVERS: A PIECE OF WORK – coming to DVD on 16 February, 2011.

Fiercely determined and utterly tenacious, Joan Rivers remains one of the hardest working comedy performers in the world. In this intimate ‘fly on the wall’ experience, we spend a year with the iconic comedienne, witnessing the layers of Rivers’ larger than life persona as they are peeled away to reveal an unflinching, uncommonly reflective first-hand account of life on and off the road for the ‘Queen of Comedy’.

JOAN RIVERS: A PIECE OF WORK features Rivers’ trademark crude humour, acerbic wit and tyrannical tantrums in full force – and she shows no sign of becoming pacified, despite this being her 75th year. Yet this film remains as emotionally surprising as it is utterly entertaining, featuring Joan speaking candidly about her obsession with plastic surgery and revealing that she is terrified of becoming irrelevant.

Joan is perhaps working harder than ever these days – not only as a contestant on Donald Trump’s CELEBRITY APPRENTICE (which she subsequently won), she also hosts E! Entertainment’s HOW’D YOU GET SO RICH? and FASHION POLICE, plus she also has her own reality show, JOAN & MELISSA: JOAN KNOWS BEST.

JOAN RIVERS: A PIECE OF WORK is available on DVD – 16 February, 2011 ($34.95rrp).
