Kip Addotta was an incredible standup comedian.
He was also a guy who used to call me late at night and insisted that I record all our conversations.
Kip passed away in August of 2019, and rather than just let the countless hours of talks wither away on my hard drive, this is the first of MANY volumes of interactions with him.
For more, go to Amazon and pick up his autobiography, Confessions Of A Comedian.

Could Steve Bluestein's prostate be the funniest prostate in the world?
It's possible. If anyone could take prostate cancer and find all the funny in it, it's Steve.
