What resonated for me with his comedy was the truth in it... [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/biggthumpup.gif[/img]
<span style="font-weight: bold">Radio Interview Link</span>
From the radio interview:
" At the beginning, I think I wrote material that was very much influenced by Woody Allen, who is my favorite,
and I used to do very off-beat jokes that sounded like I was reading them, and it took years to develop a style.
Actually, what happened is I was involved in a relationship and the girl left me.
And I was very hurt, very hurt.
And I had to go up on stage, and I finally just turned to the audience and said, "'This girl left me."
I said, "Well, what happened is she moved in with another guy.
So I dumped her, because that's where I draw the line."
That was really the beginning of the Garry Shandling dating years in stand-up. "
