with a series of dead-end jobs and this
included a stint as a busboy at a strip
club a few years later he met a stand-up
comedian and was inspired to bring his
weird sense of comedy to the stage he
made his debut at hamburger Harry’s in
Times Square and went on to devote all
his free time to developing his act when
