This is a tremendous example of story telling stand-up comedy.
All stand-up comedians have a shtick of some kind, some lean
heavily towards one liners, others like to use body language in
their performance.
Cy Amundson is a long form story teller.
Some of his bits are several minutes long, and the build-up is a
lot of his magic.
What’s really cool is he doesn’t rely heavily on a punchline.
Yes, he provides a great one every time but the little zingers
he puts into the body of the story are usually very good.
Certainly good enough to define the joke itself, in some instances.
I consider this to be a classic, it will stand-up to time quite well.
How to act like an adult indeed…
