It was like three acts.

Boom.

So, um,

I started playing around with ideas of how can I do this another way?

And so I played with street theater.

I used to do a lot of street theater.

I started hanging out with people in Chicago, studied under Del Close.

Well, the people that hung out with him.

I was a little too young for Del.

Um, yeah.

Second city.

Next generation, I probably would have been there, but yeah.

Um, but you know, um, my girlfriend's dad and my girlfriend at the time, her dad was a friend of Dell's.

So I used to hang out with him.

When Dell got sober, apparently, um, he still hung out at the Earl of Old Town, which was a bar in Old Town, Chicago.

And he would go into the bar and drink soda water and lime because the bar was where he got inspiration.

So he kept going, but he just didn't drink anymore.

Um,

So, yeah, because I started studying the things that he talked about because you might not know this.

I told this to the people at the Delco Theater in Hollywood, and they didn't know this either.
