    1990 was when I began stand up. I have since had TV and film credits, standing ovations, a few awards, and wins at comedy competitions.
    This performance of his, 32 years ago, is still better than anything I’ve ever done.

      We were raised to roll with the punches and if we even suggested that we needed a 'safe space' we'd likely have gotten punched in the face. Unfortunately, most of my then 20 something peers are 40 something fascists today in countering the hypersensitivity of modern authoritarian youth.

I genuinely laughed out loud quite a few times and enjoyed it. It was a cool glimpse into the beginnings of one of my favorite comedians. You wouldn't happen to remember what podcast his rant was on would you? That sounds like it would be an interesting topic to listen to him talk about. Cheers
