  • When I was a young teenager watching Small Soldiers, I never knew I'd grow up to realize that this man would be one of my favorite people/entertainers of all time. Keep killing it David!
  • @thekenjensen
    I accidentally volunteered myself right up on stage with David when he performed at the Bardavon in Poughkeepsie, NY for this tour! I heard him say he needed a volunteer and just started running! I thought there'd be competition and wanted to get there first. Next thing I know I'm on stage. That's when I saw he was picking people who raised their hand! I got up there fast and he had his back to me. He eventually turned around and there I was. Much more story after that. All of it funny and a little fucked up. He let me stay and we did two skits together from scripts! I did my best to not fuck up his show and read the script well. I did great considering I'm not trained in this. LOL It was one of the top five best nights of my life!

    "Life is precious and God and the Bible..." The "Mr. Show" fans got that reference. ;-)
  • My daughter, at 3 years old on the toilet, yelled out "Jim! Come wipe my bum Jim!" I love that memory

    "It's not even a Venn Diagram" is exactly the spot where I almost choked on my dinner 😂😂😂

    I was at the Boston show! Sean Patton opened. What a night. So hilarious. Here we go again!
  • @mattkidroske
    I was crying laughing during the part where they were reading the scripts together! Great special
  • @kellya4764

    Mumly peg? One of the greatest skills I had in 2nd grade when all the boys had a pocket knife, a comb and handkerchief in their pockets. That hasn't changed 63 years later for me.
