    I've watched that state abbreviations set a few times. For me it's the tightest delivery, most hilarious and imaginative package of comedy I've ever seen. I love his work. Thank you for this explication.

    i've started assisting at a club where the open stage nights are magical. a month or so ago, i told the story about me and my xWife watching Pavarotti singing Nessun Dorma at the Olympics, and people seemed to like it.
    comedians have a special place in my heart, and one of the first "records" i ever owned (maybe the first) was a Steve Martin comedy album. When Robin Williams passed, it felt like a physically palpable rainbow comet of darkness hit me with a thud.
    i've done one "comedy set" in my whole life wayyyyy back in 1990. otherwise it's been music or acting or conducting...
    but i "tried" this joke out on someone yesterday: "The early bird gets the worm, and late birds get worms later," and the guy did chuckle.
    So, inspired here by this video, I think maybe I'll actually put together a 5-minute set and try it out sometime. Thank you for the inspiration.

    Where to begin? First of all, J.P. Buck I love the idea of doing these types of videos and will be checking out more as they become available. As far as Gary Gulman, he is a true artist with words. His comedy requires is some of the most creative that I've come across. He can turn even the most esoteric of ideas into a killer bit. I'm glad he is finally getting some of the recognition that is long overdue...and he deserves plenty more. And notice how much Gary is concentrating as he watches the set. You can tell he's analyzing it and seeing things and self-critiquing it in ways that others would never notice.
