Dinner with a Famous Person
Dinning

What famous person would you like to have dinner with? This is probably a question everyone, at least once, ran through they're heads. This is, of course, only theoretical since the majority of us don't have the necessary social standard or that person is probably already deceased, but imagination has no boundaries and, if you're really good at it you can come very close to the real thing. Thus, this being said, if i could meet three famous persons they would probably be Mitch Hedberg (deceased comedian), Audrey Tautou (actress) and, last but not least, Neil Armstrong (retired astronaut). I choose these persons minding they're achievements, my interests and likes and, of course, curiosity. Let's start off with Mitch Hedberg. Mitch was a stand up comedian born in Saint Paul, Minnesota, on February 24, 1968. First time i saw him on stage was while randomly browsing the Internet and stumbling upon a few videos of him performing. Besides the enormous amount of laughs he gave me, i was drawn to his unique style like unique manner of speech, his abrupt delivery, and an unusual stage presence. His jokes ware out of the ordinary too, focusing largely on wordplay, non-sequiturs, whimsy, and object observations. Here's an example: ''I ordered a chicken sandwich but I don't think the waitress understood me because she said, "How would you like your eggs?" So I tried to answer her anyhow. I said "Incubated, and then raised, and then beheaded, and then plucked and then cut up then put onto a grill then put onto a bun, damn it's gonna take awhile. I don't have time, scrambled!" I saw a couple of interviews featuring him and I found him to be, other than funny, a very charismatic and intelligent person, a stand up comedians' main assets. His death came as a surprise to me because I knew him being in good health. This was not the cause of his death but drug toxicity, Mitch being known to take drugs, sometimes referring to that in some of his jokes. I have

    In the book “The Secret Life of Walter Mitty” by James Herbert, Walter Mitty daydreams all the time. He daydreams while driving, eating, and if he’s working he is probably day dreaming. I would have dinner with him because I can talk all i want, I can space out when i want and he won’t care. Also when I’m done eating I can leave him the bill and he has to pay. Those are some of the reasons I would like to have dinner with Walter Mitty.…

    Picture a short, round, confused man, standing next to someone tall, slick, and intellectual, and you have a duo that brought laughter to numerous audiences. Together Bud Abbott and Lou Costello formed a team with great chemistry; by using their natural abilities and deep backgrounds they produced a successful career that carried on throughout three decades. Steve Allen agrees, "Only a very talented team like Abbott & Costello could have survived the transition from burlesque and vaudeville to radio to films to television to night clubs, over a period of twenty-two years" (qtd. in Costello xii).…

    Throughout Born Standing Up, we see Steve Martin go from a child with a fascination for magic, to an amateur comedian working as an opener and at local venues, to a famous comedian selling tens of thousands of tickets for each performance. Steve is very passionate about his craft and without this passion he wouldn’t have been able to advance nearly as far in the field of comedy. Through analyzing other’s acts and what works and doesn’t work in their acts to his willingness to experiment in his own acts, you can see that he is dedicated to furthering himself in the comedic world. Steve isn’t shy in carefully scrutinizing his own work either, and through the trial and error of new acts he is able to decide which ones to drop and which ones to expand upon.…

    Life without comedy is like a picture without color. No matter how interesting the scene may be, a certain element is lacking and excitement tends to stay confined. The same could be said for humor that is written and humor that is acted out on stage right in front of you; one is grey the other has color. It was surprising, however, that after reading Bill Bryson’s collection of newspaper columns I’m a Stranger Here Myself, and watching Seinfeld’s I’m Telling you for the Last Time standup comedy, a definitive victor was not easily distinguishable and the true nit picking began. Is it Bryson’s wit and finely tuned eye for humor that distinguishes him from Seinfeld’s comical boldness and enthusiasm? How do…

    Robin Williams Depression

    A lot of sadness can be hidden behind humor. It’s often said that some of the funniest and most outgoing people struggle with depression and loneliness. I remember seeing an interview around the time of Robin Williams’s death that said Robin was always putting on a show and performing for everyone, even if only a few people were around. But when it came to one on one conversation, he was always a little off and uncomfortable. For someone who lived to entertain others I’m sure there was both worse than being alone. Depression and Anxiety was something Robin struggled with for a very long time. It surely added to his suicide, but I don’t think it was the sole reason for it. Being diagnosed with Parkinson’s disease is really what sent Robin over…
