The Show Must Go On!

In 37 years of performing, I’ve had wonderful shows, tough shows, and moments you simply couldn’t make up.

One outdoor show still stands out. It was dark, and the client still wanted me to perform. There was just one problem: how was anyone going to see me?

Then everyone pulled their cars over, aimed their headlights at the stage, and suddenly, we had a spotlight—or several of them.

The show went on.

That night captures a lot of what this career has been. Things don’t always go as planned. You adapt, people come together, and somehow you find a way to make it work.

After 37 years, I’ve experienced the good, the bad, and plenty of the unexpected. But I still love making people laugh—and I’ll always remember the audience that helped light the stage.
