85 & 86 of #1001ComedianPortraits Happy 80th Birthday to Steve Martin! @stevemartinreally.bsky.social

79-84 of #1001ComedianPortraits I truly think we’re at a watershed moment in comedy, with @marcmaron.bsky.social at the Vanguard, challenging other comics by name. I’m a firm believer in freedom of speech, but some should be called out for the people they promote, and pal around with.
