yea but that doesn't prove he had a history of doing stand up i'm sure there are SNL alumni who barely did stand up or whatever
ultimately i think it's pointless to base his standing as a stand up comedian on how many unknown shows he did in rinky dink lounges if will i am had his first stand up special tomorrow and it was the best any of us has seen in 20 yrs then he's a "stand up comedian" as far as i'm concerned
