It was about 25 to 30 years ago a friend and I went to see the Amazing Johnathan at a comedy club. Our table was right up front next to the stage. Johnathan indicated he wanted a volunteer. I had zero interest in this but my friend was eager to be on stage. Sensing this eagerness, Johnathan headed in our direction and looking at my friend said his assistant would be me, as he lowered the microphone in front of me. I don't remember a lot of the details but apparently I was hilarious. I do remember drinking a bottle of Windex that he gave me and foam pouring out of my mouth.
About 15 years later, I went to see his show in Las Vegas, anxious to see what new tricks he had added. I was very disappointed as the majority of it was the same shtick he was peddling at the original show I attended. I did not sit up front and I did not get selected to help.
