What COMEDIANS have you seen live?

[DFW]

60. Not many, but a couple of names everyone knows

Along with one everyone should know but doesn't

Bill Cosby (with something like a 30 year hiatus between shows)
Jerry Seinfeld
Whoopi Golberg
Jane Condon

I did meet Groucho Marx when I was 8 years old, but never saw him
perform except to tell me to get lost (I did).

I should add our own Ann Richards to the list. She was a politician, not
a professional comedian, but the Bush jokes she told were so good, I
would have paid to see her routine!

Speaking of funny politicians, I also saw Rep. Brad Sherman (D-CA) do
a 3 minute stand-up comedy routine, and he was hilarious, too. I guess
some politicians actually realize what a crock their profession can sometimes
be. His last line was about how he convinced his district to send him to
Washington. Before running for Congress, he worked in the local government
as a tax collector. He said he asked the voters where they would prefer to have
their local tax collector, around the corner or 3000 miles away in Washington?
They answered by electing him to Congress.
