I'm trying again. My cousins in San Francisco saw your name and asked if you were related. So I looked you up on our monster family tree and saw you were -- I remember your grandfather, Shim, and don't know your dad but do know Peter Lehrman in Atlanta -- your first cousin? Then I watched you on Youtube snd saw you were good. When are you onstage next so I can tell my cousins there -- Marvin Lehrman, Abby Lehrman, Les Haber and others to go? Or LA so my son Eric and about a hundred other cousins can fill the house? Bob Lehrman, Washington DC Chad:

I mentioned to him my wife thinks she recognized him, and Klein very kindly introduced himself and shook our hands. With a 30 second conversation, I was left with the impression Klein was a very highly intelligent and sophisticated individual with absolutely no ego. It was very nice meeting him.

I love the references to Laurel and Hardy & Marx Brothers. Man I wish I could have seen him this weekend. This is a great interview. I love the references to Laurel and Hardy & Marx Brothers.

Especially pleased to see him harp on not only the pretenders to Lenny Bruce's throne, but the pretenders to Richard Pryor's as well.
