Well, I wouldn't be surprised if you find it less amusing than I did. It's a matter of taste. Also, I should warn you that the act's definitely not safe for work! (Especially after the half-way mark.) An amusing note: I saw it back in the mid-90s, I think, and laughed all the way through. I started watching it again a couple of hours ago and even though I didn't remember <i>him</i> telling all those jokes, I remembered most of the jokes. (Also: The political humor is pretty dated and comes from quite a bit to my left, yet I <i>still</i> laughed all the way through it.) Let me put it this way: I generally don't find drug humor very funny, but that's much of the first quarter of the act and it's hilarious.Snedcatnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8839412.post-11590844467909297682014-08-18T04:31:05.655-06:002014-08-18T04:31:05.655-06:00Snedcat,

I actually didn't care as much for his serious acting, probably starting with <i>The World According to Garp</i> (I am very much not a fan of John Irving), though I do make an exception for <i>Awakenings</i>. (Or, to praise him with faint damnation, as it were, he was the least insufferable thing in <i>August Rush</i>.) I liked him best as a stand-up comic, like the <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ueDu_gZ_1ZA" rel="nofollow">famous performance</a> he gave at the Met.Snedcatnoreply@blogger.com
