Lenny Clarke's CRAZY Sam Kinison Stories | Joe Rogan

True story: Around 1990-91 Sam Kinison was playing at the the Stambaugh auditorium in Youngstown Ohio. I took off a Wednesday from bartending for the first time in three years and brought my brother who was also a huge fan. We laughed so hard I almost fell out into the aisle laughing. The next day I went back to work and everyone including both owners said Sam Kinison stopped by with his bus and I thought this was a huge joke on me so I ignored everything they said. They said, Sam went behind my bar and did a routine and showed how to get high off a can of whip cream then took everyone on his bus. One the waitresses told him I was a big fan and he signed the back of a menu "To David From Sam Waaaaaaaaaa!" a few days later the pictures were developed and he was there behind the bar with a can of whip cream in his mouth. I was ill for months afterwords.

[@kentonkruger8333]

Man, that had to be such a huge kick in the gut.

[@Genxrgonemad]

It was Kenton since he is my favorite comedian of all-time and everyone I worked with rubbed it in for weeks. But his death till this day bothers me. I can't even envision his comedy and insights if he lived until 2019.

[@stompgoblin2545]

I was at that show in Youngstown! I think it was 89-90. I got to meet him that night, nicest guy ever.

[@stompgoblin2545]

During the show he was asking the audience where to buy whip-its(nitrous/CO2) and they told him about a head shop that was nearby

[@MrKinghuman]

Lol. That’s better than a kinison joke. Thank you for your misery

[@blackspike2710]

Sam Kinison is one of the few comedians you can believe every story about.

[@jonnyhatter35]

I've only now heard about him. There really are people like that in the world. And those people, the crazier the story, the more legit it actually is

[@kentonkruger8333]

I believe the outrageousness of them, the only thing I don't buy at this point is half of the "I was there" aspect of people telling them. Partying with Sam has become the "I was at Woodstock" of anyone involved in comedy.

[@solvent.7728]

@@kentonkruger8333 so true! People somehow think in their heads that if they can attach themselves to somebody as famous and legendary as Sam Kinison, their social status and worth goes up😝. As far as the days strait of partying & amount of drugs done on top of just insane fearlessness shit he would pull, is attributed to a head injury that changed his personality he had as a kid.

He killed himself at the age of 67, while talking on the phone with his wife when his family was visiting him, including his son. The data on drug addicts and well being is not encouraging (there is a reason they seek chemicals to make them feel good). That guy's life probably was terrible. You don't kill yourself due to excess well being from being high on life.

It’s uncanny how these people usually accomplish more in their short life than the average person in 2-4 times as long.

JunkBoxHero I am glad you are still around as well. I simply submit for thought that there seems to be a type of person that will have experiences, travel and meet people, which the average person will only dream of. These people will be revered by their social group, as well as occasionally by a large number of people through celebrity status, as being objects of legend. Many suffer mental health issues or substance abuse. I don’t advocate either suicide or drug abuse. I do know what I see and have lived.

Testimony - Between the ages of 15-25 I was a bum, alcoholic, fornicator, adulterer…Couldn’t do nothing in life and had a lazy work ethic…Was a stand-up comedian for 2 years because I saw Sam Kinison perform and I felt I related to him and tried to emulate him in my life. I did. Fornication, adultery, filthy mouth, etc… I appeared in comedy clubs in Philadelphia and South Florida. I was performing at a club where Franklin Ajaye was the headliner and Brian Regan was the opening act. I was one of the other six comedians on the bill that night. I thought I was on my way to fame and fortune. A few years later Sam Kinison died and that “rocked” my world. I thought man if he could die like that (suddenly) who am I? At that time I thought all of my heroes were dead now - Moe, Larry, Curly, Ronnie Van Zant, Elvis Presley, Jim Morrisson, John lennon, etc..Now, Sam Kinision. I realized that life is futile and fleeting and fame and money will not save you in that hour of death… Eventually I realized I was a sinner in the hands of a Holy God. I had broken all of the TEN COMMANDMENTS and there was no hope for my soul. I was guilty. One Sunday night in 1992 instead of watching football or the TV show Married with Children I went to Church and heard an evangelist preach and I knew God was speaking to me through his son Jesus Christ. (Romans 10:13 - For whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved) Well, I called upon Jesus to save me, and I was at that same instant. All of the pain and heartbrokeness that I experienced in my life left me. Almost like invisible weights that held me down my whole life left me and I have not been the same since. That same peace and joy can be yours if you let Jesus save you as well.

Everyone has their opinion. I personally think Sam was one of the BEST of all time. I get people think he was repetitive or he relied on gimmicks, but he paved the way for lots of comedians to explore the highs and lows of cadence and delivery. He would start off real quiet and composed, and then just start screaming and getting huge pops from the crowd… Such a brilliant mind that was plagued by drug addiction and self doubt… Long live the king!

This guy’s story-telling ability is like listening to a record with a bunch of random scratches on it while also on cocaine.

[@JakeSmith-rr7or]

Just imagine the challenger explodes live on TV and before you can even react you just hear a guy screaming at the top of his lungs “I WILLED THIS! I FUCKING WILLED THIS!”

I got hit by a car on my 16th birthday. All it changed was my physical pain level. What a gyp...

Kinison's bit about being offered superhuman amounts of drugs and snorting coke through a garden hose still makes me laugh!

RIP Sam - Truly greater than your favorite comics of today. YOUR favorite comics would say the same.

[@michaeldietz9026]

wtf i can relate to the car accident thing, i was a pretty reckless kid when i was 18 already but after this terrible accident where i was actually totally fine, one friends face was so covered with blood from a cut on his head in the dark it just looked like a rush of blackness over his face and the other one was in the icu for over a month because he actually got thrown out of the car and it hit him while he was falling and broke his back and all these other gnarly injuries , but i was recently thinking maybe something happened to me even though i didnt show any external injuries, things got wayy out of control after that. i still have problems with impulse control and am a recovering addict. i would walk around stores at like 11am in pajamas and a bath robe drinking beer from a large mcdoanlds cup and going back to the car multiple times to refill it with O.E. i didnt care about much before that but after i did not give a fuck about anything or what anyone said and thought.

You all act like life is so special sam lived man and the irony of getting killed by a drunk driver was the comedic cherry on top. RIP LEGEND!

[@mickwood3360]

I went to the comedy store in 1983,sam was the doorman. Inside, Sammy Davis jr introduced Richard Pryor. Sober. Awesome. So sam goes on after and just BOMBED. Doing his regular but new act, and the red light comes on telling him to leave and he wouldn't. He threw the mic on the floor and stalked off. I couldn't have seen a better show if I'd planned it and paid for it. History.

[@williamwebster8367]

Thanks for the stories of a legend.

[@rogersockwell]

Love these old massive stories from a pivotal time in comedy.
