i really don't understand why people feel the need to hear vulgar language in a comedy stand up act. It adds nothing. I've heard of comics coming on stage and saying nothing but 4 letter words to get their act started and people were laughing their heads off! WHY??? i dont get it.

hes one of the, if not, THE biggest influence in my comedy career.. Hes reckless abandon when it comes to Crossing the line is and forever will be an incredible tool that he taught me..
I cried tears when i heard he died.. I didnt cry when my grandpa nor my uncle died.. but this man.. he had a bigger effect on my life than you guys will probably ever know.
RIP.. hes probably down there screaming up at us right now.
HAHA.. love this guy.. Thanks george..
My goal in life is to be the greatest.. to be forever remembered.. A LEGEND!
I got some pretty big shoes to fill, but i wouldnt have it any other way.

oh, and Comedian use profane language sometimes to be socially accepted.. U'll see this in amateurs alot.. They think using bad language is cool, and thus, the audience will think HES cool.
Thats why comedians use bad language..
Professionals that use bad language know that without the one word being placed exactly where it is, the Joke loses its Punching Power.. I use bad language tastefully. theres a big difference when you use 4 letter words 5 times in a sentence, then once in a paragraph.
When you add One strong word to a paragraph, it adds POWER.. POWER!!!! to your show..

what kind of parent would take a child to that sort of performance?

It is so sad he is gone...
I know I could repeatedly watch some of his latest shows (wearing all black) repeatedly, and laugh again; that's how I know he was great...
But he left his legacy for other comedians to try to live up to...
