| I'd have to say, considering all of the comics I've seen and heard, no one, but no one, was funnier than the late Sam Kinnison.
His early training was as an evangelist. Guess he didn't find his place in that genre, but he did learn all of what he knew in terms of pacing and delivery there.
Sadly, he died in a head on collision returning from a gig in Las Vegas (from what I know, it was the other driver's fault - though Sam was a self-confessed party animal).
If you ever get a chance to check out some of his routines, don't miss it.
Yes, he could be really filthy at times. But, boy, I don't believe I've ever laughed quite as much at any other comic.
Thanks for the opportunity to offer my brief eulogy to the great Sam Kinnison. |
