What resonated for me with his comedy was the truth in it... [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/biggthumpup.gif[/img]

<span style="font-weight: bold">Radio Interview Link</span>

From the radio interview:

&quot; At the beginning, I think I wrote material that was very much influenced by Woody Allen, who is my favorite,
and I used to do very off-beat jokes that sounded like I was reading them, and it took years to develop a style.

Actually, what happened is I was involved in a relationship and the girl left me.

And I was very hurt, very hurt.

And I had to go up on stage, and I finally just turned to the audience and said, &quot;'This girl left me.&quot;

I said, &quot;Well, what happened is she moved in with another guy.

So I dumped her, because that's where I draw the line.&quot;

That was really the beginning of the Garry Shandling dating years in stand-up. &quot;
