Her stories about being mistaken for an immigrant ring true. I think maybe I knew her math teacher...
I am friends with Willie Farrell. Des Moines comedian. He was always funnier when I was younger. I have not been to a show in a while though. I can't remember his last name, and someone will know it but a bigger comic in the 90's went to Iowa State. I know his name is Jake something
20 years ago it was my best friend and I when we were plastered. At least we thought we were.
Yep thats him and with the way he did comedy. It makes sense he lives in San Fran. He was kind of a hipster type comedian. Pretty funny guy. Not sure if he still does stand up. Have not heard anything from him for a while.
My old friend Hiawatha Rutland was one of the funniest/nicest guys I knew.
I knew someone who I used to laugh and laugh whenever I saw him but he moved to Pennsylvania. Sometimes I miss Fran.
look i have 1,027 "funny" reactions received and 2,710 "haha" reactions sooooo
Dang is Willie still at it? He did a couple shows at my high school back in the 90s.
I was actually gonna mention your mom gave me a good laugh last night
I laugh at everything that comes out of Chad Leistikow.
Yep he is still at it. Performs about once a year at the funny bone. Mostly does Vegas shows and corporate shows
