This is popping up at various places on the web, but I don't think Travis Simmons (who shot and edited this piece) would mind if I posted it here as well.

This is Carl "The Ass. Man." Warmenhoven (assistant manager of the Comedy Underground, Seattle) performing on a recent Monday open mic...less than two weeks after suffering a stroke.

Carl is a beloved part of the Seattle scene--and is usually the man running the Monday open mic, where he guides new talent--young and old--through the process of becoming better comics.

You might hear some re-purposed street jokes in this set, as Carl is a lover of corny plays on words and dick jokes, but believe me...these laughs are all Carl's.

pg--And yes, I'm in the parade of Seattle comics offering their instant commentary after Carl's set...but that's hardly important.--carl'sburgh
