>I don't think I have ever gone to a professional comedian.

You make it sound like " .. to get in touch with my dead relatives" :-)

>He has a few CD's out, and has a few "Blue Collar Comedy Tour" movies out... I guess that's what I meant by checking him out.

Thing about comedians - once I've heard a set, I can only listen to it once again at the most. I remember friends years ago with the Richard Prior gigs on VT - hillarious - but not when someone is dropping the punchline with the talent.

I'l look out for him on telly though. You really should try a live comedy show for the atmosphere. Don't they have them in barns out where you live or something :-)
