Bernie Mac performs at the 5th annual spring gala fundraiser held at the Apollo Theatre. New York City, USA - 05.06.06
The funnyman is tired of life on the road and insists comedy isn't as fun as it was when he started out, so he's planning to sign off with one more movie, THE WHOLE TRUTH, NOTHING BUT THE TRUTH, SO HELP ME MAC.
The beloved KINGS OF COMEDY star says, "I'm gonna put it in the theatres and it'll be 30 years for me, and I'm gonna call it. I'm still gonna do my producing, my films (acting), but I'm wanna enjoy my life a little bit. I missed a lot of things.
"I was a street performer for two years, I went in clubs in 1977, I was selling out 15 and 10,000 seaters (venues) and no one knew (who I was); I was the best-kept secret.
"(But) you live in all these hotels. I was on the road 47 weeks out of the year... It's tiresome and today you have to fight to tell a joke."
