7) Recently: a girl by the name of Xin Yan “speed reads” Dr. Seuss’ Fox in Socks and actually gets laughs. I think Josh Fadem is more impressive with pratfalls.
8) If you ever hear of Eddie Pepitone going to perform as Sven the Swedish Clown, drop whatever you doing and go and watch because it won’t be as funny as whatever you were thinking was funny that day.
