#TBT On December 1st and 2nd in 1983 I went back to my hometown of Harvey, Illinois and performed at an all black club called Benjis. While there I recorded an album called, That White Boys Crazy. The black guys that I hung with and played sports both with and against nicknamed me affectionately, White Boy thus the title. I performed in front of all black audiences so many times in my career and have been asked on numerous occasions, why did you do that? I say why wouldnt I do that, Im a comedian. I have seen black comedians perform in front of all white audiences and no one seems to find that unusual. The other question I am always asked is what was it like? Heres a short clip from back in the day of a brief interview and then a few minutes of standup in South Central Los Angeles. My question for the day is - What color is laughter? https://youtube/watch?v=9pmCsDY96mU
