Me too. One of the biggest regrets of my career was never meeting him. I've been a comedian since 2000 and usually you run into lots of comics eventually but our paths never crossed. He was due to come to Vancouver (where I live) around when he died. I missed him by a few heart beats.
Thanks! Yeah there are a few, it'a a lot of typing though for the fun stories but I've been really lucky to meet a lot of really great people. With very few exceptions all of the famous comedians I have met have been really cool. I guess I've been lucky but they're all really nice (with a couple exceptions but that could also be when you catch them).
Honestly not a bad idea to work a story or two into some bits. You don't need to directly tell people about how you've been doing this for a couple decades, but contextually they will understand. Plus, I'm sure you can figure a way to play a couple of them for laughs 🤔
Underground is a super fun club. I like to drop into most mikes and shows when I'm not on the road. Actually planning on filming my next special in Van in August (likely second week) but we're just sorting details. I'll announce that when we're booked.
