CeramicChef Posted April 7, 2017 Report Share Posted April 7, 2017 Rickels was Robin Williams before Williams. HE was one of the best improv comedians I ever saw. I met him on a number of occasions in Vegas. He was a really sweet man in spite of his stage persona. At the time I was a budding stand up wanna be. He insisted that I give him some of my schtick. I gave him about 2 minutes, not wanting to take up very much of his time. He graciously told me to keep going. All told I gave him 5-6 minutes and he laughed. He told me I had chops and that I could do it, but was I sure I wanted to do standup? He was truly a funny, funny, sweet man. Thanks be that I can still see him on YouTube. The world needs more stand up guys like him. HE left this world a better place. I will miss him. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I grew up watching him and I loved watching the reaction of the people he was working with. They could barely keep a straight face because they knew something was coming but didn't know what it would be. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
