oh, i hadn't either. i had just heard lots of assumptions about the man's stand up career. i was curious about how much stand up he'd actually done and i thought someone(s) here might be able to shed light on it for me. so i asked.
>...and i'm not sure how you think hollywood would greenlight 2 >standup movies from a guy who had no proven stand up >chops...
SNL. Trading Places. 48 Hrs.
again, i assumed he'd done some stand-up work in prep for those movies, at least. but i wanted to know if he'd done anything else b/c i didn't KNOW anything about it. so i asked ppl here b/c i figured someone(s) would know. and i was right - several ppl here had info about his stand-up career and provided it for me.
also i wanted to know about his stand up career AFTER Raw b/c i hadn't heard anything about it. i wanted to know if ppl had stories about Eddie randomly doing a set at comedy clubs. or even doing a tour after Raw. there was one allusion to some performances in like 2004 or 05 but that's it. no stories or videos or articles about those possible performances.
i explained at least 4x why i was curious about Eddie's stand up career - i wanted to know how much he'd done b/c i figure the more he's done the more likely he is to return. b/c i'm a fan and i want to see him do more stand up.
>had ANYONE made a stand up "movie" b4 Eddie??
yeah. Richard Pryor had done at least 2 or 3 before Delirious.

and i believe Bill Cosby had done at least 1.

i dunno about others but i assume it'd happened.
