Ludes, Whip-its, and carpentry

It's still weird seeing him do this visually since I grew up listening to a bootleg cassette of it. I wonder where that went...here's a cool little story I read about how this stand-up routine came to fruition.

After a childhood in the 1960s, Leary went to Emerson College in Boston, where he tried his hand at acting and writing. He was a charter member of Emerson's Comedy Workshop, and taught at the college for five years after graduating. By that point he had written several pieces for magazines and had worked at stand-up comedy for a time. In 1990 he and his wife Ann flew to London to perform in the BBC's Paramount City. That weekend Ann's water broke. Their planned weekend trip became a stay of months, and Denis, with not a whole lot to do in London, wrote a one-man comedy act. He brought friends in from the States, and they wrote songs to perform on stage.

Hey, who remembers OPERATION DUMBO DROP? I'd say Dr. L has come a long way.
