“Then I thought, that might not be such a bad career move. I’m a horrible self-promoter. If I was caught on tape on stage crying and peeing and that tape got out it would be infinitely more popular than anything I would say in my act. And it would get out. It would probably get like 30 million hits on youtube and be the most downloaded clip of the day. I pictured groups of giggling teenagers worldwide huddled around held video cell phones laughing and saying, “Dude, check this out. This is that comic guy who cried and peed. It’s fucking hilarious, dawg”, in several different languages. I pictured AOL’s homepage headline, ‘The Leaking Comic, comedian falls apart on stage, watch now.’”
