His bits were invariably autobiographical, very descriptive and not jokey. But he soon found out that one Monday night he would wow them and the next he would flop. "I had no consistency," he said. He acquired that by spending 14 months with the famed Chicago improvisation group Second City. Then during the Boston tryout of The Apple Tree he got the urge to do solo comedy again. "I turned on the Merv Griffin show and saw a comedian who was just terrible," he said. "I thought I could do better so I sat down and in outline form worked out a few bits like the Civil Defense Drill routine and the Face Track Announcer. All of this required acting and needed more than just the strength of telling a joke. My humor comes out of situations and characters." When The Apple Tree finally arrived in New York, each evening after the performance he would grab his tape recorder and run over to the Improvisation Cafe, the West 44th Street nightclub for aspiring comics and performers. There he met Rodney Dangerfield who told him, "You're good, and I'm a tough critic, kid." Through Dangerfield he was introduced to Jack Rollins and Charles Joffe, managers of Woody Allen and Dick Cavett, who then became his personal managers. "I want everything I do to be a slight departure," he said. "What I need now creatively is some more of that lean hunger I had when I was starting out." (His yearly college concert income was reportedly in the six figure range.) "The show has required so much of e I haven't been writing or thinking funny lately. Each time I look up it's time to do the show again." In the spring he'll be doing an NBC-TV special. A movie deal is also in the works. "I suppose the ultimate is to be the auteur like Woody Allen or Charlie Chaplin, but to me the ultimate is to be happy," he said. He daydreams about taking two weeks off for a trip to China with Brenda, who'll be making her Metropolitan Opera debut on Christmas day as Hansel in Hansel and Gretel. "Success brings with it a certain kind of sigh. Like chapter one is finished. Let's sit back and enjoy what I've earned." Then glancing down at his watch he smiled. Suddenly it was show time again. 34 [[end page]] [[start page]] How many of these shows have you seen?
