In…..what……way.

I have some questions about DivX.

Today neil 63 years

Happy birthday neil from italian boy live in rome

He was a turning point in Bob Odenkirk's trajectory according to his book.

Such a junkie slime old Del was….

Wow.

"What is this conspiracy? It's a conspiracy of geniality and hope!" -DC

The first time I heard his name was on CC UCB. I didn’t know he had such an impact.

How sad & tragic that they invoked demons at his deathbed. Jesus is the ONLY way to God. John 14:6 “Jesus said to him, I am the way, the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through Me.”

satanists...bigger pussies than christians

RIP Del Close. RIP Harold Ramis.

Private moment of Bill Murray with Del wow

Del was an enabler of John Belushi’s drug habit. He should be held accountable in memory. Just a fact. Del beat women……even dumb comics know dis. Do anybody really miss Del?

Satan gathering. Too late for the dead 💀 they’re tormented in a burning hell. Salvation is only through Jesus. Acts 4:12.

I met Del in the East Village in the late '50s. He was a joy to hang out with. I happened on to the Compass Players at the Gaslight Theater in St. Louis in 1960, and he was about to go on a tour opening for the Kingston Trio. He gave me the key to his apartment in New York so I'd have a place to stay when I got there. I spent time with him while he was with the Committee Theater in San Francisco in the late '60s. I saw him last at the Second City in 1975 or so, and had no thought that it would be the last time. In 1999, I was living in Barrow, Alaska, and was moving to rural Bluff City, Kansas in April. Since it was in the Midwest, I figured I'd have a chance to visit with him. I looked him up when I got there only to find out sadly, he''d died a month earlier. I appreciate whoever posted these videos.

He was a friend and I stayed in his apartment a couple times in the 70s. He taught be to realize that if it isn't a bit dangerous, it doesn't need to be onstage.

What was cut out after "celebrate the birthday and the life of..-" ?

Hello? Yes. I was up at 2 am last night and I saw your commercial. I would like to buy seven improvs.

Del killed John Belushi

Del was a friend and an influence. I stayed in his place and slept on his couch and he taught me a lot of things without my ever being a real student. Think what you want, but I knew him in a very different way than most. He was not a fraud. I asked him once, "How do you feel when folks call you eccentric?" He answered, "They're just being kind."

Sure, Del Close was a junkie and a curmudgeon, but why should that discredit his accomplishments? The man revolutionized (and in a lot of ways created) a beautiful artform. And that artform changed the world of modern comedy and performance as we know it. William S. Burroughs was a junkie too. HP Lovecraft was a junkie. Does that mean their work is meaningless too? Nah. The personal life on an artist has little to nothing to do with the work.

@BlueFoxXT Yea there is...Dont remember the season or episode though.

a smack addict and a woman beater...?

I just finished reading The Funniest One in the Room...it was so phenomenal and meaningful to watch this especially after reading The Party chapter. I never met or had the pleasure of training with Del...but my absolute love for performing longform makes me respect this man so much. Thanks for posting!

your a dumbass....your a dumbass....whos gonna supply us with dumbass comments

iof abusedevery H? what the fuck are you on man is it H? or C? or since light travels faster then typing you seem bright until you type

the real definition of a bum is somone who is obsessed with insulting a dead man. which just proves my theory which is you are a waste of sperm

your a fucking piece of shit

huh, wasnt there an episode of Scrubs where JD said that to his neighbor? Interesting

I saw Del in St. Louis' Crystal Palace (where my sister worked) in the 1960's and was impressed. I mostly remember his routines about how beer can openers disappear, mate, and produce wire hangers, and the one about the sound of a dripping faucet calling to it's mate: "Mort...Mort...Mort..."

ah yes the cop out answer of kings. the fact of the matter is is you have nothing of fact or intelligence to say, so you think sending some stupid insult will make you right the fact of the matter is is your nothing your entire life will be to belittle those who are better than you simply because you have no talent or skills. enjoy that pathetic existence that you call a life and just take comfort knowing you were a waisted $.75

Alright Moron I have a feeling that that so called confession that you heard was probably you having some mushroom flashback and regardless of who or what he was as a person one thing he was not is a fraud. in every class i've ever taken at second-city and at io i've never scripted anything its all been genuine improv. ergo I know your i Lying through your fucking teeth and what do you hope for some shitty little stint on broadway that you can brag about to your friends who peeked in highschool

dude your full of shit. Improv is not rehearsed hens the title. I've been doing it for 2 years now and have performed 5 times and let me assure you that every part of it was spontaneous and on the spot. I think I get you now your probably some washout entertainer who is trying to find some target to pin his own inadequacies on so why not dell he's dead and has a history of drug problems he's the perfect target. once again grow up man

Dude I'm currently attending IO all the greatest teachers/performers loved Del and think that his lessons/methods are some of the most effective improvisational tools to date. To be honest every remark you made about his drug use had truth to it. however that does not give you the right to insult the mans legacy just because you have a chip on your shoulder. Grow up dude and get a life

a. You're jealous b. Nobody will miss you

no. not at all actually. I'm actually just a human being with at least some sense of decency, more than can be said for you, you sad little bugger.

excuse me, but who are you to call Del, or John Belushi anything but great? as far as i can tell the only thing you have ever contributed to is the youtube community's collective disgust for you, and your degrating comments. I hope you had a peachy keen new year, and I sincerely hope that your resolution was to think, at least a little bit about what you are going to say before you say it. peace, chad

but... his body was cremated before Charna could get the skull, so Charna went and found another and that's what they have at the goodman. If you google it you'll find the story straight from Chrana herself.

You sir are a flame baiting moron.

I wish I could understand the conversation he has with bill murray, there is so much noise/

Is it true that he donated his skull to the Goodman Theatre?

I completely agree. From what I've read, Del was a remarkable teacher.

Yes iOWest is on youtube. Give us more. Ive been looking for some Del Close. For some time. Give us more. Thanks for posting.

Del was a great man, and even more important a warm and wonderful person. I miss him. Thank you for posting this!!!

The master.
