Am I the only person who likes Bill Hicks AND Denis Leary? I know Leary gets a ton of shit for rippin off Hicks. But I still like No Cure For Cancer and Lock N Load. It's different enough from Hicks material that I can enjoy it as well.

He told a story about a time long ago when Larry the Cable guy was an unknown....when the comedians would go out to eat after their sets....Larry would pull out his ball sack through the leg of his shorts, hold it down with his thumb and raise himself up a bit off of the chair, then tell everyone at the table "dang.. I sat in some gum". Getting everyone to look etc.

I was probably 23 and I mentioned to him my wife and I were going to the show. He got us a great spot (in for free) and got to hang for a long Tims after the show. Holy shit...being back there with a group of comedians was pure ****ing entertainment.

I'd have loved that. I really like seeing shows and interviews about comedian life. The one thing people have told me over and over that I should do is standup comedy or comedy writing. Unfortunately it's just a terrible fit for me because I have stage fright somewhat and I really don't think I'd like the entertainment biz. But I always enjoy hearing stories about comedians lives. Going all over the world on tour sounds like a blast.

Me too. I've been told the same. The comedian I mentioned, James Johann started doing open mic nights at Stanford's when he was 16 I believe. Or 17. He was still in high school I know that. Its also funny so see someone you know do their "act" ...in his case its a total 180 from the real person. I wish James had more stuff on you tube, but there's some stuff out there. His "schtick" is being a self proclaimed "Rural Genius". His radio segments show case his writing IMO.

I think James is probably 42 now. Its been his "job" ever since. He goes on like 60-90 day tours at college campuses, comedy clubs, corporate events etc. Recently he's been doing shows on cruise ships.

I think it varies quite a bit. But I know one yr he brought in about 250k I think. I remember it because he was mentioning how he ****ed up on his taxes and ended up owing quite a bit. THis might have been the year or so he was opening for blue collar tour

Lol. You and me both. I think it definitely fluctuates quite a bit. Its pretty consistent though when college tours or the like pop up. He does these nearly every yr. Sometime twice. Add in a few cruises etc and he gets by pretty well.
