Still, how many comedians are so totally filled with mirth. It can be infectious.

Just a clarification, My comment below was not clear enough. The quoted remarks are from their Facebook page. I saw both Steve and Martin there and remember many instances where they did crazy things, but the quote is from others posted to the site. It is full of memories by numerous people. The link in first my comment is for my previous post here in BCN about the GSEMH.

That is one of the coolest things I have ever heard of. Those are special moments.
Please try to find some way to develop that into a post to help preserve that special moment for posterity. Steve Martin never told jokes, didn't cuss that much and pretty much stayed away from overt vulgarity and was funny. Even my kids love Steve Martin. |
In the 1970 Steve played at the Great Southeast Music Hall in Atlanta before he became famous.
"Steve Martin and Martin Mull performed on same bill for a week at a time - twice as I recall. We called it "The Steve Martin Mull Revue". They were equally popular at the time, so they traded off who opened and who was the headliner on any given night. We thought it was good at the time but in retrospect it was a whole lot better than good. I remember being there and each of them dividing the audience up and they took us all outside for tug of war. I was on Team Mull. It was a draw. We just drug each other around in the parking lot laughing our asses off. On another occasion after the first set both came out together and the crowd had thinned out and either Steve Or Martin said "Hell, this crowd is too small, lets go bowling. The whole crowd went to the bowling alley next door." (Documented on the Great Southeast Music hall Facebook Site) beaufortcountynow.com |
George Carlin, Richard Pryor, and Steve Martin will always be my favorite standups from that era.
For new comedians, I like Tom Papa: beaufortcountynow.com Most comedians should stay away from the governing side of politics because it is way over their intellect, and whenever possible Comedians should reduce the vulgar talk. Too much gets real old, real fast. |
