(21 mins.) Undoubtedly the most novel monologue act we have ever played and it did splendidly for us in the next to closing spot. It held the audience interested from start to finish and got a lot of laughs. The use of an old couple, introduced as his parents, was something entirely new and the act closed to a big hand.
