The material here returns Cosby to familiar territory, with the storyteller reminiscing about his childhood and -- more so than in the past -- making modern observations on a wide range of topics. Perhaps owing to the continued success that his records were having on the album charts, 1967's Revenge was mined from the same run of shows at Harrah's in Lake Tahoe that had yielded the previous year's Wonderfulness. In the title work, Cosby recounts the lengthy and methodical steps in getting "Revenge" on his slushball nemesis, Junior Barnes, only to find that his mother had unwittingly put the kibosh on his plans. Other monologues incorporating tales of the comedian's childhood include his recollections of life as an only child before having to deal with Two Brothers.
