This man is such a genius. His use of the English language is just superb. There's a contrast between a well-read, creative, genius storyteller. And a whiny, grumpy, belligerent drunk. He just gets better and better.

+Jack Grady Was just going to say the exact same thing! Not only is his imaginative and poetic command of the language utterly awe inspiring - the sheer brilliance of the concepts he conjures up in this particular routine, are absolutely peerless. He's easily one of the very best stand-up comedians of all time; if not *the* best, IMHO!

The wonderful irony of this bit from his show is that, whether he realizes it or not, he actually did open the door to his potential and ended up finding and personifying one of the best stand up comedians of a generation! (And that's without even mentioning the fact that he was responsible for "Black Books" too)

He also wrote books, if you are ever interested in it. But then, you might already know that sorts of things.

A level of inner-contentment comes first before you can expect to feel any sense of accomplishment, and it comes from being excited, not disappointed, by the world as it is atm. Then you're REALLY driven to experiment with it and understand people better. This curiosity can get misconstrued as 'progress', though progress never...
