Funny stuff-
And Yes Pablo Francisco is great too- He should be featured more.
I heard both recently on Sirius satellite radio's Comedy Channel.

Anyone, and I mean anyone, who I've showed this too gets absolutely hooked and ends up buying it the next day. It's so damn funny, classic Seinfeld.

Eddie Izzard's "Dressed to Kill" is by far my favorite.
Now if I could just get Steve Martin's "Homage to Steve".
Anyone remember the opening skit he did with Terri Garr in the restaurant about the absent minded waiter? There is not a dull moment in that whole stand up routine.
