I will never forget Andy Kaufman.

It was at a small club in Queens called the Metro and this guy we never heard of got up on stage and played a record of the Mighty Mouse theme. That was it. He did a few bits of business and then went into a crying jag about how he was not meant for the business and this was his last appearance.

To this day I have no idea how he did it (maybe dark wizardry) but after a few minutes of this he had us laughing hysterically, and we didn't know why. The more we laughed, the more he went on about how we weren't taking him seriously, and we laughed harder.

It was one of the most brilliant things I've ever seen on stage.
