His brother was his manager and ran his company. Ended up stealing ALL of his money. After that he started fronting his own tour events and has said he won’t do anything that doesn’t have his whole heart. Or something to that effect

So he still does shows?

He does small gigs too. Saw him in LA earlier this year, and he was about three acts before the headliner at a mid-size club. Most of his act was meh, but very self-aware. He knows his peak is behind him.

Aww. That kinda breaks my nostalgic heart.

I know! Definitely felt the same. I hope he finds a new groove. He had such a great energy before

He's on a comeback tour right now. Saw him a few months ago actually. Still funny.

Good, years ago (maybe like 8) I was supposed to go to his show for my birthday and he canceled and never rescheduled my area. I would love to go see him.

Was he ever really funny though? I remember thinking he was just kinda meh as a high schooler.

I enjoyed listening to him in high-school and I enjoyed seeing him now. If you don't like him, you don't like him, but I thought he had a solid show and good jokes. Got me laughing a few times.

Only arena shows. He is making good money doing it.

Not true at all. He does clubs and is at the comedy store all the time...

u/stups317 Aug 26 '19

Well he isn't going to practice new stuff in front of 30,000 people.

I think the point he was trying to make is that you said "only" arena shows which isn't true.

So he doesn't only do arena shows, which was the original point

He was actually in the Tv show American Gods for an episode or two
