I am not a stand up. But I tell the backstage $$ story here. (#Assholes.)
And I once heckled Stanhope so hard in Kentucky he brought me on stage to argue about libertarian pizza parlors. This is probably where I say I’m 7 years sober.
To get my PTSD under control after the shooting and the threat against the students -- the rumor was bomb; I have no idea, we had to evacuate for the semester -- I had to hop on a stage last year. It worked.
