My Favorite Comedian

Plinky asked, “Who’s your favorite come­dian? Is there any­one you can’t stand?”

George Car­lin is the King of Come­di­ans as far as I’m con­cerned. He’s always hilar­i­ous. I love watch­ing old clips and read­ing his books. His death was a huge loss to the world and came far too early. It cer­tainly doesn’t hurt that he shared my lack of respect for reli­gion.

I see no rea­son to name come­di­ans I can’t stand and give them atten­tion, but purely phys­i­cal com­edy leaves me cold, as does any­thing that involves pick­ing on members of the audience.
