For all the hundreds and thousands and millions of jokes I’ve told, there is one that every audience seems to remember: my juice box bit.
I’d like to think that this bit captures the imagination due to its clever and absurdist take on 21st-century suburban child-raising traditions. But more likely, people like to laugh at an overweight middle-aged man jumping around on stage like an idiot.
If nothing else, it inspired this well known poster:
Recorded in January 2009 at the Obey House Tavern in Crafton PA, in front of an enthusiastic crowd of about 6 people. Sorry they don’t have lights there.
