Now that is sad news. It's hard to think of anything funny right now but we should get the thread back on track tomorrow in his honour.
I met him a couple of times when he would show up unannounced at local bars to try out new material then go around and talk to people to find out what they liked & didn't like. It was always a shock how much of a difference there was between the crazy funny guy on stage and the smart serious guy you talked to five minutes later.
I guess if anyone has earned a break it would be him. RIP buddy.
